    Concession to Age

    55

    Went from the Weaver K2.5 to the Leupold 3-9.

    It looks "different".

    If the old timers could've had a Leupold scope like that in the old days mounted on their rifles, They would've jumped at it!

      Yes, but the matte finish Leupold would look better.

        It may look different to you, but the deer won't know the difference; until you pull the trigger. You will be able to see a LOT better with the Leupold than the Weaver !!

          Can't hit it if you can't see it, always admired your stone work by the way. Jim

              Fantastic Pete! Oh, and so is the rifle!

                          As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."
