Anyway, 1.5hour woods walk with Merlot. I took it slow, however Merlot has been cooped up for a few days and ripped it for the most part.
He/she thought thought it was hiding, but if you took a line off Merlots nose that wasn't the case. Turned out there were four. And some wonder way some of us prefer low power scopes. Around 30 yards....
I agree.... I can see why a 30-30 is issued to kids at birth in PA!
The form factor was a bit much in the end, but in every other way the 1.8-5.5x Conquest I had on my .358 M7 was perfecto. Many deer killed closer than 30.... before that was a Leup 2.5-8 that lived on 2.5.
The guy I sold the Conquest to was putting it on a slug gun. I bet he loved it on that.
