My first car was a copper colored 1974 Pinto hatchback that was my deer & waterfowl hunting vehicle too. The dealer gave me $500 on a trade-in sight unseen for a running vehicle when I bought a new truck in 1984. When I drove it on the lot & picked up the truck he looked at the pinto & said “we got screwed”.

The Bushnell Banner on my Ruger 7mm killed lots of deer until the reticle literally fell apart. The failure of the next cheapy in one year convinced me a Zeiss Conquest 3x9 was a good investment and I was right.
