Just thought I'd share this with you all, A buddy of mine and myself are going to be hog hunting in the coming week or so and needed to sight in and practice with our marlin 30-30's since we have not shot them in awhile. My friend decieded that he wanted to scope his rifle as the shots might be a little farther than we can shoot open sight or as targets may be hard to see as it nears getting dark, so my friend goes over to wal-mart and picks up a center point scope for around $70, not knowing what to expect we mount it and sight the scope first at 50yrds, once we are happy with the point of aim we then mover it back to 100yrds to do a little fine tuning. What we found are that that scope is very accurate and the groups being shot are pretty tight in that we have clusters of two or more 30-30 rounds touching(hogs beware) ;D... My friend was very pleased with the results of the scope and rifle combination, my friend had always gotten poor results with that rifle and other scopes in the past and thinks now that the other scopes/rings may have been the problem and he just needed to find the right scope and ring combination to get the best accuracy out of his rifle....A little info on the scope, it is a center point 4-16x40 with illuminated recticle. The scope comes with a battery to power the illuminater as well as rings already mounted all that needs to be done is to mount it on your rifle base. Oh yeah another cool thing is that it comes with flip up scope covers so all in all it has that sort of a cool hog getting tactical look to it...
Now I think I may need one myself too ;D ;D ;D
