Spotting scope question.

I am in the process of deciding on purchasing a Swarovski STS 65 25-50 vs a Swarovski STS 80 25-50. I am planning on using it for spotting at the range and for general spotting use. Is the STS 80 really worth the extra cost and increased light capacity? I don't have a problem with the extra cost if it worth it. Is the clarity/light on the 80 that much better and would this be a better option for my planned use verses the benefit of having a smaller and lighter STS 65 scope?
give me a call. I can talk through both with you. long story short, with that much magnification, I prefer a larger objective, unless weight is a serious consideration.

Excited To Start A Sniper Rifle Collection From FL

You know this post is very helpful in clearing up a few things. I see that a rifle requires an actual sniper to be deem worthy of the name a sniper rifle(unless I am buying a sniper and the rifle which would be more of contract..lol). What I didn't know is using such term is an act of disrespecting real snipers. Thanks for the explanation.

This is a somewhat disappointing response. Because it's indicating that you are here to learn and grow. Not go all "Bow Kills, Concrete work and Velcro sneakers."

Disappointing because we live for epic threads in which newbies self-destruct in epic ways. And it's been weeks since we had one.

So you are actually off to a good start. Slow roll your posts. Fast-track your reading. You might even have a great future here!

Is that her “street / rap” name?
Probably was slave name...

Someone should look up the antebellum Rosebottom plantation and shtetl in Georgia. If my hypothesis is correct, they raised Matzo, Gefelte Fish and had acres and acres of Yamulke plants turning out bales of little hats every season. May also have had a lot of acreage dedicated to kosher hogs and corn pone.

Economically-speaking and doing the historical math, they would have had 84 - 112 slaves named after Massa Schlomo Rosenbottom, the family patriarch, formerly of Warsaw. He may have also been involved in banking. And mulatto-production.

Just 'sayin.
