    Driving cars fast doesn't require real skills or courage. I exclude rally drivers from that statement, they need courage, skills and a healthy dose of insanity.Buggered if I'd get in a car with...

    I've used 2 1/2 or 3 x scopes for years, shot plenty of animals all the way out to 350. We tend to forget that the human eye is an amazing thing, and what it is capable of. Even with variable scopes...

    Either of those two would be excellent scopes. Have no first hand experience with the swaro, but have a mate who likes his. I recall that the Duleys used one of these on their "bush pig" series a...
