    I used to hunt in just about any weather. Not any more. I'm a fine weather hunter now. I go to enjoy the hunt, not feel miserable. If I shoot something it's a bonus. Results have not changed much.

    The one you linked to appear to be discontinued. Great scope, i have one on my 223. All the new freedoms are CDS and this one is at a discounted price. Hence the qn.

    Yep, you see it all the time. They want to get the last 5 fps out of a hornet. Rooting around with various loads, burning up components and the barrel. Should have bought a 223. Doh!

    Nothing to joke about. Do the obvious, Check scope mounts and screws. Check stock screws. Stock screws touching barrel? Swap scope. Different ammo
