i am becoming less optimistic by the day that the two eform single shot trusts that were certified back in april will be approved before elk season

if you wanna play a gamer sport go see what your local gamers use
or look at the PRS 'Production' guns for sale
or look at the not-so-actually-truthful 'what the pros shoot' articles
or go to a forum like idk Snipers Hide
if you can do NL Pure then 12x because the FOV matches any 10x. but in this case not even close budget wise
a $500 budget it's tough and 10x is the easy choice versus giving up something for a 12x
