Okay, my 10x SS has convinced me...

   I was very skeptical. I REALLY had accepted the idea that I was going to need to spend a grand plus on optics. I have my old 3-9 Redfield Accu-Range I've used for years. It needs a rebuild and TLC. What was I gonna do?

I pondered, read through countless threads by "experts" and experts. I hounded my .mil buddies. I finally succumbed. I had to have a decent optic or not shoot. 

So, I drove to Red Oak and purchased a 10x (M) from the sample list. (yea, a used one yet).

Spent the last couple of weeks at Tac Pro on a steep learning curve with a fixed mag and mildots, squeezing as much consistency out of my M21 spec M1A as possible. I'm convinced now. Its a great scope.

Even the so-called elite youngsters at Tac Pro won't sneer at SS's. (They always have to finger your toys though).

I'm impressed.

	I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
