    Scopes That No One Likes To Admit They Own

    Billt, I completely agree with what's going now in the classroom. Parents have an absolute right to have a voice in what's being force fed the children. CRT sucks in my opinion and if I was a parent I would feel the same way. To much of this woken crap has been brought into the classroom as the...

    Scopes That No One Likes To Admit They Own

    I also have a 50 year old Tasco 3-9X. It's been on many rifles that are long gone. Including a Ruger No1 45/70 never had a single problem. Why, because it was made in Japan not China like todays Tasco's are. I don't use it any more as my old eyes need higher magnification.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex scopes must have an awful lot of problems

    Funny you should mention Dillon and Vortex in the same light. After 25 years with a Dillon 550B the part that dumps the Primers went bad. Dillon sent me all the parts of the system I needed and others just in case within a week. I've had 2 Vortex Vipers 4-16X 1st gen PST's at least 15 years...
