Okay, so you knock turrets for something that you admit the scout scope isn't up for.
What are you talking about?!?!? A Scout scope isn't up for turrets? You're like arguing with a 7th grader. One of those "...I may not be right but I'm DAMN sure not wrong!!"
What's the Ashley base weigh?
I wasted a a few seconds at the Brownells site...the base weighs 3.2 oz. Why I did this, I'm not sure, but there it is. I'm still not quite sure why you're comparing the weight of a full-size scope to a Scout scope, but I can tell you with a great amount of certainty that I'm rapidly becoming bored with your drivel. But, I somewhat enjoy helping a fool like yourself look like a fool....
Haven't posted a pic of my rifle yet, any of them (at least not on this thread), so you strike out there, too.
You're correct, ny bad. The post that shows the rifle mounted to the scope was by "toad". I assumed when you started your prating about a a 6x42 blah, blah, blah that it was your rifle pictured...which is further confusing. Why did pic a 6x42?
Boxblind scored an X ring, obviously.
Sorry Junior. I own and hunt on my own property and there's nary a box blind to be found. But feel free to argue as you probably know more about my property than I.
Post envy, as well as envy of other attributes, suits you; keep it up.
Let me correct myself from earlier..you're arging with a 7th grade girl.
From now on if you want to call me names, why don't you PM me? Nah, that'd take all the fun out of it wouldn't it? 'Cause then you wouldn't receive the attention you so desperately need from people reading your childish posts.

Oh yeah...this will be mine and my fathers 7th year to hunt elk in this particular place (All d.i.y. hunts by the way) So far, the elk only win 33% of the time
Your reading comprehension is simply piss poor.
You were knocking turrets for something that you admit the scout scope isn't set up for (lugging on high country elk hunts... your words, not mine).
That, would be a red herring (i.e., a non-starter, for argument sake).
The Ashley base weighs 3.2 oz. Lovely. That puts your scope and base at 10.2 oz, while the 6x42 and Talleys total weighs in at 13.5. That leaves you 3.3 whole ounces for rings to have the scout system be lighter than the 6x42. The point there, skippy, is to rebut your position that the full size scope is too heavy, and the scout set-up not; simple math proves your wrong.
As for picking a 6x42, well, that's easy. That's what more than one of my rifles wears, and it's one of the scopes YOU knocked earlier as too big, bulky, and heavy (see WGM's post, and your reply).
Glad you own and hunt your own property. Congratulations? You want a cookie to go along with that?
And, I'm arguing with a 7th grade girl? Well, okay... then you really ought to be in bed by now.
As for PMing, well, that street runs both ways... have at it, Hoss.
And, again, good luck to the elk; at least those not in front of your father.
