You don't need that stuff in Maine. It will never help a guy up there. smile


Yep, in fact they're a liability a lot of the time when you're hunting places so thick that you couldn't fall down if you wanted to. Biggest reason guys at our camp didn't get shots....."Couldn't find'em in the scope". This thread makes me miss my 280 I just sold, but I had to reduce, more use for the other 3 7600s I'm keeping though. Up to Maine for bear in about 2 months and then back up for deer in Nov.


Likely not very good hunters/shooters. Just because I guy has been doing something for 40 years, don't mean he's worth a shiet.

The 'Couldn't find them in the scope' tells me they are pretty much idiots.


It's happened to me twice in thick woods and fading light and many times according to the outfitter with scopes. Open sights often work better for us idiots.



NO one shouldn't be 'finding' deer through a scope. If you know how to mount a rifle the deer is there when you bring the rifle up.
