[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 779345, member: 12995"] My dad is the same way... I had to literally "steal" his old 70's Marlin .30-30 and remove the old Galaxy scope that was on it when he bought it (in the 70's), and put a Tasco EXP (high-end Tasco) that I had sitting around the safe, on it. That Galaxy scope was so old and cheap that all the nitrogen had escaped it, and it would fog up as soon as you pulled it out of the truck on a cool day. LOL He would also still shoot his antique boxes of Remington Core-Lokt SP ammo for it, even though I bought him 4 boxes of Hornady LeverEvolution and sighted it in for him.... You can't fix old school mentality. I've learned that over the years. I had to remove one of the Simmons Aetec scopes off his 7Mag and put one of mine (Nitrex) on top of it, b/c the recoil was knocking the cross-hairs out after every shot. He said, "Thanks, but that was unnecessary....It's not like I ever shoot it, anyway..." I just had to shake my head, laugh, and walk off on that one. Try to do right after all these years, from him buying me all the gun stuff I wanted, and he just shrugs it off....But that's just his way. I know he appreciates it, but sometimes it seems impossible to help the man out, b/c he's so hard-headed, stubborn, and set in his ways. [/QUOTE]
