John,
nice article. Always enjoy the topic. On your guidance quite a few years back I bought a Full Field II for a good friend who I owed a favor. As you described in your article, he mounted it on his deadly accurate model 700 30-06 and sighted in. Very nice groups and the scope was all it was described to be.
In the closet it sits waiting to get out.......
AR's and other more exotic caliber stuff have made trips to hunt all kinds of game and paper targets, with many failures of other scopes.
Im always fast to remind of the Ol Reliable sitting in the closet......
Always grateful for good optics when far from home on a trip. Esp. now that the 100 yd steel gong is getting blurry with the Lyman Peep on the Marlin.

I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
