+1.  Sometimes it's hard not to be grumpy even with the kiddos.  Fortunately (depending on perspective), my lovely wife has a "look" that informs me when I'm not being my "normal" loving self.  Either way, suck it up, Ilya.  Let's see some reviews of glass few or none of us can afford!

Well, technically, I can get all of these article done much faster, but I kinda enjoy watching Kickboxer (aka Taz), a man widely known for his angelic patience, go up in flames.  So I announce that I working on an interesting scope line-up and then just sit back and watch him simmer...

Interesting to read even if the scopes are out of my weight range and magnification needs. Gives you an idea of what to look for in other scopes too.
