    Yeah... I watched it again yesterday. Gets the juices flowing for sure!

    What you think this scope is worth?

    Kinda wishing I'd bought this scope NIB for $900, now. Oh well.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    Got my butt yesterday with out of town folks from Atlanta and Kansas. All my 5 year old wanted was a stupid shark. Tried today and wound up with this true beast.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    Copy. Maybe it was the medallion thing that had me questioning from 20 years ago. My shroud is definitely octagonal in shape. Been a good gun.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    10-4. Long time ago. I just remember it wasn’t the latest and greatest at time. About to try and find some fish.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    It’s not an II Original a bolt I think 2005 I have always loved this gun and I’ve never been really sure why. It shoots well. Which of course matters. But it also just feels good to carry. I wonder if you’re coming about center of gravity and weight distribution has a lot to do with my...

    What you think this scope is worth?

    Yeah, no joke. Sitting here looking at $1,000 (and more) scopes to put on a 20 year old gun that has a completely acceptable scope on it already. I also don't really want to split the two up... they've served me so well for so long... so that has got me kinda looking at a new rifle for the...

    I know yall aren’t big on Leupold. Guess I’ve just been lucky. But, sportmamsguide has a VX5 3-15 x 44 for $999. Promo now for 15% off and a $100 gift card with that scope. Not a bad deal.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    10-4. I've never liked the idea of an illuminated scope. Back of my mind it just seems like another gadget to break. On the Trijicon, I guess you're talking about the TR26 product line? You mentioned "modern Leupold." Is there a general consensus that their quality degraded of late? Should...

    What you think this scope is worth?

    I looked pretty hard 3-4 years ago and everything I looked at had at least one thing that really turned me off... weight, reviews, FOV, low light performance, warranty (which IMO "shouldn't" be needed, but...). The Leupold seemed to be at a minimum acceptable in every category that concerned...

    What you think this scope is worth?

    I know there are some Leupold haters on here, but Optics Planet currently has a 5HD 3-15 x 40mm for $999. I have one on another gun and really like it. Kinda tempting... I know it's irrational, but I'd almost feel bad taking the ol' one off the rifle. It's been so good to me and we've been...

    What you think this scope is worth?

    10-4. I don't think I've messed around on E-Bay since probably about the time I bought the subject scope. ;-)

    Thanks guys!

    What you think this scope is worth?

    Completely understand what you mean by vanilla. I picked up that VX 5HD 3-15 x 44 a couple years ago and it's about like having night vision at low light. Yeah, it's been a good gun! Have taken 59 deer wtih it, 13 pigs, and 3 coyotes with it. She's a little dinged up, but that's of no...

    What you think this scope is worth?

    10-4. Thanks. For some reason my work computer let's me acceess this site, but not E-Bay, or Cabelas, or MidWay, etc. Hahaha. Trying to do research from phone irritates me. IMO, that price range would be worth parting with it. Any less and I think I'd just put it on the shelf.

    What you think this scope is worth?

    So, I bought this scop in 2005. I can't imagine a 19 year old scope that's been in the field hundreds of times. However, I'm considering buying a new scope just for a few more features and slightly enhanced optics. As you all know, new ones ain't cheap, and any money that could be put towards...

    Barnes TTSX vs TSX out of same gun....

    I know the gun shoots the noslers well. Will see how it likes the Barnes soon. Shot the accubond “long range” the other day and it was not all that great. Was in a hurry, though.

    Barnes TTSX vs TSX out of same gun....

    Yeah. 300 yards is 2,500 fps, like i thought. I’m not taking shots past that, so I’m thinking the non tipped copper bullet should open up satisfactorily.

    Barnes TTSX vs TSX out of same gun....

    All good points. I won't be shooting past 300 yards and I think that distance bullet still making like 2,500 FPS. I'd like to THINK that she'll still open up at that speed, hence my question about accuracy with it vs the TTSX. Regardless, at $38 / box it was kinda hard to say no. Can always...
