I had a Leupold Vari-XIIc 2x7 on my RSI for a while and now I'm moving to a VX-III 2.5x8. I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

IMO If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

Excellent choice too. Wish I could find one. There must only be 10 in the country.
