Rifle Scopes My first S&B

[hydro556]

I picked up my first S&B scope recently and mounted it on my GA Precision 308.

Havent been to the range with it yet, but am impressed initially from checking it out in the back yard. Was not sure what I would think about the P4F, as I had never even seen one. Upon first impression, I really like it. The thickness seems just about right for such a wide range of magnification.

Hope to get it to the range this weekend and really give it a thorough exam. Glad to finally have some glass back on my 308. Been jonesing to shoot it. LOL. Here are a couple pictures.

I wish I could take credit for the paint. One of our members here, Dimensions, is responsible for that. Very talented. I couldnt be happier with the results.

You'll blend in nicely in a mountain of skulls and bones! Haha!

Balls would be taking the same pattern on the stock to the scope...
Nah, just kiddin', good looking stick, you will really like that scope. I've looked through a few (I have the 3-12) and have been very impressed.

thats the beauty of this work. from 10 ft it looks like a nice camo job, but as you get closer the artwork emerges.

Wow I totally misunderstood your post. I thought you meant instead of skull patterns you wanted balls. Man I must be really tired!

Duracoat and an airbrush.

Contact Dimensions here on the 'Hide. There are several guys, including George who have had some fine work done by him as well. But I am partial to mine. When I settle on my next rifle, Jeromy (Dimensions) will be doing that stock as well.

The pictures do not do it justice. The work is pure artistry and looks better in person than in pictures. I have had it for around 6 months and a bunch of range trips. I am nowhere near as rough on my gear as a lot of guys here, but it has held up perfectly. Properly applied Duracoat is very durable.
