I feel like the the young guy that shows up to the range with my Barska topped Savage "tactical" rifle after reading this thread. I thought I was pretty cool with my gear... I guess not.
I came close to kicking myself in the nuts by a website called royal ammo. Same shit with to much available and at 2019 prices. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Will the argon, nitrogen or whatever gas the scope was purged with run out if it's laying on its side? Hunting scopes with the capped turrets prevent this. Not sure about the tactical scopes.
