I 100% agree. 20 year old Vari-X 3's are holding up to continued abuse and holding zero while newer VX5/6's will crap the bed in the exact same use. Not everyone has that opinion, thus why I mentioned it. Another option is they will cerakote any scope you send them.

I love how fine things can be a very personal assessment. Some people considering a fine meal for $600 a fine experience. I myself couldn’t justify it though I’ll never judge someone who has the money to spend. One of my own fine enjoyments is my dream “work pickup” for the ranch...

I forgot in my first post: welcome to the forum! More Montanans here than you’d assume! @Flanders357 it’ll be Dec 12-14 at the fairgrounds. I live up between Malta and Havre myself.

@Flanders357 you ever hit up the Bozeman gunshow? If so swing by my tables and say hello. Always good to meet people. I’m always the far left of the three back buildings near the rest rooms, directly across from Greg Desaye.

I’m not irritated at the dealers who mark them up, or even the people that buy them and relist them for a higher price. Lipseys is irritating for their irregular sales. Number one I know I’ll never get one, my volume is nowhere near the level needed to get one. But it seems they’re...

An acquaintance tried to get me to buy bitcoin at $500 per. And again at a thousand. Refused to buy what I viewed as a scam. Still view it as that but woulda been a cool one. Most regret was a M1941 Johnson in excellent condition, all original including bayonet. It was a good price...

If I may which gpo compact did you get? On my Africans I’ve mounted 2-7 leupold compacts. Just barely enough tube length to reach both rings. 3-9 would be better but like the compactness of the 2-7.

A pass through or deflected bullet that still hit. Even a long range shot would have penetrated deeper than skin deep. Me and my dad came across it in two elk. One was a .270 partition fully expanded just under the skin. The other was a .30 caliber chunk also under the skin. Just guessing...

Sold pending funds to choochoo404

I cannot get my phone to focus to take a picture. It is this reticle though. Illumination works perfectly. 1-8 settings with an off spot in between each level. Also was asked for references: most people I’ve dealt with on here are as new as me. Probably the only “old hand” I’ve dealt with...

Yes sir. Center dot that illuminates. And @Lance Hopper not looking for anything but shoot me an offer. Worst I can say is no thank you

Let’s do $875 shipped

Located in Montana. Will ship usps insured. All forms of payment can be discussed. I’ll take it posted in this thread trumps any private message. Up is a Meopta R2 1-6. I took pictures of what blemishes I could find. All just scuffs from safe travel, it’s never been afield and I don’t...

You’re lucky I didn’t notice the price drop! I’d been watching it for quite awhile thinking it would drop at some point. Congrats, that looked like a solid rifle.
