Re: Wife\'s First Hunt Darryl, I have found that out! She shoots a Winchester Stealth, and since I have gotten that rifle, hasn't said a thing about things I am picking up, especially when I am buying reloading supplies. There are no more statements like " You don't need all that..will take you...

Re: Wife\'s First Hunt Brent, LOL Took me 10 minutes to get her to stop jumping up and down. She told me last night, that she already got her buck, and this weekend she is going for her doe. Jamie, Come on down anytime sir! We are usually out there on the weekends shooting. Darryl, Yes it is...

Wife\'s First Hunt I just have to brag on my wife. This was the first deer hunt that she had ever been on, and got this buck at 400 yards. 168 Sierra BTHP was used and the deer was DRT. Deer weighed 155 lbs before it was field dressed. Pretty good size buck for this area of Oklahoma...

Roger, We use our scopes teaching classes in Long Range shooting. They have taken some serious abuse and been exposed to all kinds of weather conditions. To date, no problems with foggy lenses, etc. I am quite pleased with our Nikon's!!!!

I must echo Ian's words on the Nikon scope. They are GREAT. We have not had one problem out of them, the quality of the glass amazed me when I first looked through one, and with Ian's help, was able to secure some for BadLands.

Ian, You are correct on that sir. I took Steve's post to mean that he was interested in the screw on "knobs" that have the extension to fit into the adjustment (coin) slot of a regular scope. Sorry for any misinterpretation.

What I have found interesting on this topic, is the fact that animals I have shot, that were totally unaware of my presence, usually dropped right there, where as, animals that for some reason or another, were in an "alert" state, usually ran off after being shot. To me this relates to the Fight...

Steve, You can send the scope into Leupold and they will install them, or you can purchase them directly from Leupold and install them yourself. If you check with Brownell's catalog, I believe they offer them for sale there too. There are several other makers also.
