Haha. You got a 5-20 shv yet mark? Pfft. Of course, Laffin...But, I hated the 56mm objective. I tripped it and replaced it with the Shv 4-14x50 f1 that’s lit. I used the shît out of it in 2019. I didn’t have any problems going from 52 yards out to over 600 with it. 🦫

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Higher rings and adjustable comb...56mm is nice on high power scopes or they can be too dark. Sightron puts a 60mm on some of theirs

Kinda hard to play alpha when you're a short, bald, fat tub of shiit. That genie ain't going back in the bottle.

Shot a buck at 650 yards using it on a 7 mag a couple years back. Made it kind of easy. 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.

Nice Scotty, goin bull huntin? 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. Can’t tell you how much of that I’m looking forward to. I tried VLD's for the second time last year and must say I am impressed.

That’s a sweet picture. Thanks for posting it. I think that 230 at nearly 3k should float and whomp stuff.

Got lucky and paid a very fair price for the Mil Spec. They never last long if priced well and I have only seen 2 for sale in 5 years.

Sorry guys, not a fan of the SWFA SS. Have a 10x fixed power and gonna sell it soon. Eye relief and eyebox are so bad it's hard to get behind it and do anything. It's always dark because of how hard it is to find that perfect sweet spot.
