I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I would have never guessed this, but when I google it, up comes, "how to camouflage a scope"

I think that may be a bore-snake type tool wrapped around the scope just to keep it with the rifle.
I could be wrong too, and then we'll both learn something.

Usually guys will secure bikini scope covers using a little bit of paracord like that, but since there seems to be no scope covers there.... I really do not know.

Is that Montana sling on the GAP rifle on upside down or is that the way they're generally strapped on?

Chuck did teach you something. I got the crab medication out before I leaned. Never saw a sling like that. Did you make it? This is how you use the Montana Sling to keep fleas away from you.

I use Montana Slings and belts. I just learned another use for the sling, thanks Travis.
Is Scenar Shooter associated w/ Montana Slings? If so thanks for the great stuff. Everyone I have talked to there is the best.

mike r He owns the company IIRC. I was just lamenting to a hunting bud last weekend that my sling would be perfect if it were a little bit longer. I just saw on his website that Pat now offers a long version of the sling! I'll have to make an order before next fall!

One look and it is easy to tell. He's hoping that he will drop it somewhere and never find that ugly gun again...

Ben I don't carry that way, but mine has worn enough to slowly slip a bit when my gun is slung. A few more inches of leather would put the knot right about where I like to hold the sling when its on my shoulder, thus stopping the slip.
