The trophy photos are nice. But because a critter was killed...is that a validity test? Could you take that same rifle and optic and shoot a 20 click box with it? In my poverty, I don't have any high dollar optics...but in the low dollar category, I have many options...but the only ones I would bet money on being able to shoot a box with, are the SWFAs and God help me, some old steel El Paso Weavers. I'm not saying my Meoptas and Zeiss' won't do it, I'm saying I wouldn't be willing to bet much money on it.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I don't mean to be flippant but I've never eaten a box. I have a couple of rigs that are for dialing but the majority are just to steer a bullet where I want it to go. Inside of 350 yards or so no dialing needed.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

At the end of the day, I could give a $hit about paper or test. My goal is to kill the critters. I’ve no trouble in that department and my family is eating well. What works for me may not for the next.

I've never been to Dream Land,where apparently all wares are the "same". Forecast looks to stay that course as well. Hint.

Whether it's a blade,tires,fish rods,boats,cameras and most certainly rifle scopes,nothing is further from Fact that all are "equal" or close. For obvious reasons and a multitude of others that routinely escape Droolers,it's never not been prudent to extrapolate objectively. Further,R&D is never not fun. Hint.

The MOST important portion of a rifle scope,is that which you can't see and Testing is beyond prudent. Easy for me to say as I've simply gunned 100's and 100's of 'em. Mechanical integrity fhuqks with pointy heads and routinely hurts Tender Feelers,which never ain't not fhuqking HILARIOUS. Hint.

Just sayin'...............

I can post piles of groups and a fair bit of critters that do for me.

JB,

What percent of your and your wifes down game were downed with Leupold optics?

Yep Stick knows how to test a scope. Toss it down a hill and see if it stays sighted in.

I was going to quote the ol duffer but figured why.

Somebody must have explained MOA is not inches at 100yds to him.

Never to old to learn is a good thing.
