Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Like the SWFA 6x. Found the SWFA 3-9 to have sort of mushy clicks. Use one but not a huge fan. The NXS 2.5-10 strikes me as a great scope. I like the 4-16 ATACR as well. Course there is still the Mil Spec being used on my favorite rig.

I might’ve gotten enough of a nudge to not chicken out on them. That rifle will likely get a 2.5x10 NXS before too long... Last edited by beretzs; 01/25/21. Semper Fi

Yeah, I’ll pull a bull tag and my son, God willing will pull a cow tag, along with my brother. As long as my son isn’t deployed will go to Wyoming with me.
