Just looking for a new scope.

I have subjected my scopes to more torture on a ATV handlebar mounted gun rack than I ever did out west.

Right on, well if you’re running a Leupold or a vortex scope on that ATV rifle and you maintain a zero, I’d be shocked.

But, SFP, with capped turrets and no reticle subtensions, does it really matter?!?!?!

Capped turrets matter. I want to measure in mils and dial for elevation on every shot. I don’t want to be removing caps to do that.

So dont put the cap on the turret?

You think this is bad, go get on 24hr Campfire. At least things stay pretty civil on here. Over there, a lot of times it's a bunch of 12 year olds having a pissing contest and throwing temper tantrums.

Sounds like I need to expand my horizons, sounds like my kind of place.

I’m always looking for new places to get offended and flex opinions

Now we know where “WTB: caps for scope” and “WTS: scope without caps. Cheap!” advertisements come from!

You should at least post an introduction thread.

Why are you measuring on every shot? Why are you dialing elevation on every shot?

You could put caps in your pocket to not lose them.
I searched but I didn't see any “WTB caps for scope” ads.
If you do ever need some they're usually free from manufacturer.

This is curious to me since you seem to be a big fan of the Accu-point 3-9 mil-dot.

I own one of them. It’s a very good scope, but not my favorite. Every scope on the market is a compromise in some regard.
