I almost bought a new varmint rifle today but couldn't find any real varmint optics. What's up with that? Has everything gone tactical?
I'm looking for something seemingly simple and seemingly non-existent now: 6.5-20x roughly, AO, not side focus, 1" tube, 40mm objective, with a ranging crosshair, and absolutely NO knobs of any sort.
Seems like everything is either high end tactical with so many bells and whistles they get in the way .. or cheap junk. Or both.
What .. happened?
There was a time when I did a whole lot of prairie dog shooting.....I used (don't tell anyone) Tasco scopes 4--16X X 40....I found that 16 X was about as much as one could use as more power was lost to mirage.
I no longer use these scopes.....so if you would like one send me a PM and we'll discuss.....
