Same here. Those of us that did possums for complete furs back in the 70's early 80's were getting upwards of $25/skin for AAA grade at the height of the market. That would have to be close to...

For me, as a card carrying old fudd, my preference would be for a 2.5 or 3 fixed power scope. I was glad to see some others had plumped for these. If you are the sort of hunter that leaves your scope...
