new scopes

[glenn57]

dropped off the gun yesterday at this guns and gear store and had them take a look see. had some other running to do so....... couple hours later stopped and picked it up.......said he tightened things down and re-bore sighted the scope, and yea it was off.  he suggested starting at 25 yards, i thought  even boar could hit something at that distance????

he told me get it in the bullseye at that distance and then go out to 100 yards and you should be close!!!!!!! so next trip north.............

Ok Glenn now you are costing me some money.  I got that Lazer sight in thing today.  I haven't felt good about my .22 scope for some time.  I can't seem to get it sighted in.  I am getting a complex thinking it is me but no that can't be.  LOL  The thing is cool as heck.  Green light.  Well when I was trying to turn my scope to match the lazer I couldn't even turn my up and down enough to get there.  So I got it very close but not perfect and went and shot at a box about 30 yards away.  Hit 4" to the right and 2" high no matter where I turned knobs.  My scope has expired.  It is a Bushnell Sportview and about 20 years old.  SO I think I need to get a new scope.  I got some Vortex binocs a couple of years ago and can't believe how clear they are every time I look through them.  I can get a Vortex Diamond back scope for $189.  It's 7 x 35.  It will be for short distance. 

[glenn57]

  not sure the variable of mine, but I got the vortex diamondback for mine. think it was in that price range too.

My 30-06 scope is the vortex also.

NOW if we could only get boar to think like us, he'd actually turn out to be somebody!!!

I bought my Remington Fieldmaster pump .22 in about 2000.  Love the gun.  Got it with a Bushnell Sportview 3 x 9 scope on it.  I just looked at Bushnell's warranty.  Guaranteed for life on a riflescope means 30 years.  SO it is under warranty.  I entered my info and they gave me a case number to send it in.  Each scope has a number on it so they can trace the age etc.  I sent it in today.  We shall see.

Never lived there.  Been through before.  I just read that Waite Park is the #1 city in MN with the most serious crimes per capita.  Murder, rape, armed robbery etc.  Guess what town is #2 in that category?  Bemidji!   This has nothing to do with scopes unless you use one committing a crime or maybe self defense so I am still on topic.   

[Jerkbiat]

Wow, Bemidji is #2.

Just saw on the news today.  2 Native males shooting guns at cars and hit a business or two???   Still looking for them.  Once a week there are alerts looking for someone.  Usually young people.  Unreal!

Went to school at Collegeville. I still got some good friends up that way. Lots of nice little pothole lakes north of Richmond. I worked part time at a small liquor store in Waite Park, Coborn brothers owned it.

I heard the demographics of the Cloud area are changing rapidly.  I don't have any evidence to back that up.

No wonder you could only afford 1 blade for your saw!

I just received a brand new scope from Bushnell the other day.  It's a basic no fancy one but it is on my .22 so not so critical.  Good to know the lifetime warranty is worth something though.  It is a Banner Dusk to Dawn 3-9 x 40.
