This kind of falls into the category of - "if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand." I mean that kindly, as I know yours is an honest question. I will say however, for sitting in a tree-stand, shooting whitetails under 100 yards, not much in terms of scope is needed. And really, a $100 can buy a lot of scope these days (reference the Burris Fullfield on sale recently).

So I guess, in an odd way, I've sort of talked myself in a circle right into your camp. I could easily use the Burris FF with dots for all my hunting.

Damn, I'm starting to sound like you grin

PS, so happy to hear about your recent cancer victory...
