              Same scope my dad has.. and it's pretty good quality for the price.

              Also, quick comment on the Falcon Menace. I suggested this to a good friend of mine. He's careful with his guns, but 2nd trip to the range, entire windage turret fell or broke off. Never seen that happen before. We had just finished dialing his 308 SASS rifle in. Seems there's not much holding that entire turret on. Was shocked at the way it fell apart.

              Vortex has some decent stuff for the money.. Too bad you didn't have a thousand to play with. Could step you up into some top of the line US Optics fixed power, that are amazing scopes.

              EDIT : Also, if you can spare another 100 bucks, the SWFA Super Sniper scopes are incredible. This one would get the job done and is a GREAT optic for the price.


              I own their 5-20x50 SS optic HERE, and can't believe the quality of the glass, the turrets, everything about the scope is awesome for the price. But all the reviews I've seen on SWFA have been above par. If you can swing $700 for the scope, you can't go wrong. Might want to look at some reviews, or look at youtube for some SWFA videos. Top quality optics, awesome features. clear glass. Check em out before you drop a ton of cash.

                          I use precision step blocks to square the scope to the rail.
                          Feeler gauges would also work.

                              I can get the scope on there correctly if you want to come over...
