Thanks doctor. I'm in Zim for a 14 day hunt;last 2 weeks of May as it stands now.
I appreciate your advice. I have to add though that at 52, I can still notice a discernible difference between great scopes and superb ones.
At 52, you can also notice a discernible difference between Miss Georgia and Miss Uruguay too, but at that level, do you need the upgrade?
If things are so dark that only $1K+ glass makes the shot possible, take your finger off the trigger and try again tomorrow. That's the scenario that starts the "I was mauled by a leopard" stories.
