    What age did you start hunting?

    I have been on limited hunting trips since a very young age. Would say from about 6/7 years old. My grand father had a farm ( agriculture only ) where a lot of bird hunting was done. Mostly with slingshot, air rifle and even bow and arrow, all self made with the exception of the air rifle...

    My new 375 needs a scope

    Why not consider the VX6 1-6*24 . I have one on my 416 Rigby, and rate it very high. On my 30-06 I have a VX1 3-9*50, and the VX6 makes up with quality and clarity where it lacks the extra magnification of the 3-9 VX1. Up to 150 yards in my experiance I will rather have the VX6 with its lower...
