As for the question of reading Stumpy's posts, with a Scottish Accent in your head.... Yeah, I could see Stumpy, standing on a rock in his Kilt, or at the computer with his kilt... would make it so much easier for him to do his second favorite past time... Scratching his nuts...while doing his most favorite past time, telling the world how wonderful he is.... but then again, He doesn't have to afford to think... He's just so awesum!!!!!!

I really don't upgrade a rifle. If the hunting demands a different platform (light carbine/ heavier rifle) then I would buy something different. Dan

I don't know how you are wired, but one of the greatest favors someone can do ME, is to tell me I can't do something! But don't tell anyone that. It's a secret. I'm generally indifferent to the thoughts of most people, since they are, for the most part, of no consequence to me. When people tell me that I can't do something I usually ignore them unless they have some regulatory power over what I want to do. For instance, it is foolish to ignore government entities like zoning boards and the BLM. I think that the greatest favor anyone could do for Larry is to ignore him, as responding to his rude behavior/comments is giving him the attention that he craves and which his disruptive antics seem designed to generate. I feel sorry for Larry as he has a greater burden to carry than most people.

Congratulations?!? The only time a portside roll is a concession mechanically,is when windage is swiped from the design,so elevation can be padded and their values differ in the gross amount of travel. Google it. Laughing! Also no joy when talkin' side-focus parallax,upon most platforms(AR sight height being viable with some Makes/Models there). You'll wanna Google that too. Laughing! Now I'll fuel your Imagination and Pretend,so you can say you've seen a Reupold MK4 M1 16x...you "lucky" kchunt. To be clear for your pointy head,it is afflicted with all of them mechanical concessions cited. Hint. In fairness however,you could not find "port",with 3 fhuqking tries and your sole Maritime Salvation,is that schit floats. Congratulations?!? Laughing! I of course would do as I plainly stated and simply nip the ejection trajectory/distance,as per my whim,if only because I've done so more than a leetle often. Hint. For them daunted with same,the portside roll is a breeze and far from disconcerting. Doubly so on a unilateral reticle. Someone who "knows" and "does" as "much" as you,is always going to be better served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". Though you reserve the right to be a "Trend Setter" and be sure to "tell" me "more". LAUGHING! You poor poor STUPID Fhuqk. Wow +P+++!!! Pardon my being afforded the luxury of not being forced to guess and simply shooting it all,as you obliviously schlep STUPIDITY to places it's never been before. Your "Life's" "experience" converted to water,wouldn't wet the bottom of a sewing thimble. Bless your heart. Laughing!...................... 'hen, If I score glass,I simply buy a rifle. If I score a rifle,I simply buy glass. I've never been one to linger or fhuqk around. Sucks waiting on the AA 17HMR and ten mags to arrive,but I prolly have sumptin' to shoot in the meantime. Hell...knowing me,I prolly keep extry everythings on hand. Hint. Laughing!............. Anyone else read these in their head in a Scottish accent? They make more sense that way. McSquizzy accent? Cartoon character for sure. I don't have the time or the energy to read and do the translation anymore, I skip over them mostly. He has nice pictures sometimes. NRA Life Member ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

1Nut Campfire Regular Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 2,601 A little further North...	Originally Posted by R_H_Clark I've been spending more money on optics lately. For years my typical rifle scope was $400-$500.The last couple years it seems I prefer the $700-$800 range.Now I'm considering my next scope purchase in the $1200-$1400 range,but that range has me considering a new rifle purchase instead. I don't "need" either a new rifle or a new scope. I was just wondering if you guys enjoy having more rifles or better glass.What's the typical price range of your scopes? I'm all over the map with rifles and scopes. I have a few Redfield Revolutions and top out with a couple of VX6s. By far, most of my rifles wear Leupold variables in VXII/2/III/3 varieties.

Laughing!............... 'bore, The Mail throwed a giddyup in my hitch,as I was anticipating more splendor,to have arrived. Was/is hoping to launch the newest 6BR with Virgin Lapooeys,but am missin' that parcel,though I most very well could have same rat-holed somewhere. Gots a coupla scopes enroute,multiple base sets and rings coming too...along with a couple/few more thousand ELD's of repute and a couple more barrels to boot. Might be a fair 2wk vacation,give or fhuqking take.(grin) Somewhere enroute,I've a goodly stash of Grendel 50rd ammo boxes coming(I think I ordered 50 of 'em). One of the new spouts is yet another Krunchenticker 22 Grendel SPR dupe and the 75 ELD's luckily arrived in time. I'll be keeping an eye peeled for the thousand .284" 180 ELD's creeping this way and have a "hunch" that I'll set up a Whizzum or two in their favor. Have more scopes,bases and rings rollin' this way and gots me a "hunch",that there might be some Chrome Dredging Wares enroute too.(grin) Slow evening today,as I'm still unwrapping parcels and deciding what to bolt up first. I shirked inletting a stock for the newest 6BR,mainly because I'm whooped from travel and just might have more than one stock on hand.(grin) Gotta tie fresh riggin',slave the press and stoke the crummy,in order to start a right proper 2 Week Carnage Run. Bought enough new duds,that I don't have to do laundry. Laughing! Batteries are on the charger for all the cameras,Big Yella' is already smiling because I've been HOT with the FWB 300 and I reckon I've not lost my touch. Just sayin'. Hint. Laughing!............... '22, Don't slight how "real" her Imagination and Pretend is,as she sorts through the family Pharmacy...handing out Retard Pills. Bless her heart. Laughing!..................
