I picked up one of the clearance deals that Midway had last week. It was exactly what I wanted, so I couldn't resist.

It's a SN3 T-Pal 1.8-10x37. Erek 1/10 mil w/red illuminated mil gap reticle.

Anyhow, I picked it up at the UPS outlet today, and had it at work, showing some of my co-workers. When I told one of them what it cost (he asked) he then asked what made it worth the money. I said "because of this," grabbed it around the power ring, and beat the ocular against a stack of magazines like I was pounding in a nail.

The look on his face made it worth every penny.

It's some sort of sick ritual that we have to beat a several thousand dollar scope against something. Pretty sweet it can take that abuse!

Great scopes. </div></div> Yeah, only downside I see- didn't fit my Larue SPR mount. So I gotta go buy something else, and I would prefer a quick release cantilever.

I might buy a set of the Larue rings, and mount the front one on the handguard rail.
