lol, the Optics Forum is a "rough and tumble" place!
It's akin to a gaggle of old hens cackling, getting their feathers ruffled and all puffed up, shaking their fingers in someones face because they feel slighted.

On this point I can wholeheartedly agree with Jud, use whatever optic YOU want. (as long as it isn't a POS Leupold! lol , just kidding! grin )
