[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1385268, member: 39764"] Not exactly where to stick this but it is a rifle scope. I have a killer deal for one from Cabelas. They were sold out so the store manager gave me a raincheck at the sale price ($150 bucks off) when the get back in stock. I'm going to mount this on a Savage 22-250 bolt rifle that will for now shoot factory ammunition. It's [B]exclusively[/B] for hunting song dogs on my Northern Michigan property, the song dogs are decimating the deer population by bringing down fawns. All over the place up there. We camp there in the summer and after dark it sounds like a convention.... Makes my wife very uneasy. At times they sound like they are right in camp with us. While I have both a 17 and a 223 bolt gun, I've heard that the 22-250 is the optimum song dog rifle. I have yet to purchase one but will very shortly. Not interested in pelts just want to reduce the population I have them down here (South East Michigan) as well, they run the ditch bank at night, the ditch bank is about 75 yards from the house and I've observed tracks around the house in the snow This is all fairly close in shooting, maximum range will be less than 150 yards with most shots within 75 yards. Michigan now has a 'kill on sight' policy with no season, all that is needed is a general license. I realize it's a basic NV optic but I'm interested in hearing any user opinions like reliability and ease of setting it up and recommended factory ammunition and bullet weight would be nice too. At some point I will handload but for now, bullets in a box will work fine I will add an external IR Illuminator, probably a Streamlight but if someone has a better one, I'm open to that as well.
