[QUOTE="devins, post: 624184, member: 27441"] I took my nephew out Sunday afternoon for his first p-dog hunt. He had just picked up a Howa in 22-250 with a Simmons 6-24X50 on it. We got to the field and set up. I asked to look through his scope and he said it needs cleaning. I had to agree. Thankfully I had been a boyscout and pulled out my lens cleaning gear and went to work. Was it the clearest thing I had ever seen? No. But we were taking shots out to 465 yards and I must say in the good breeze we had, we live in western Oklahoma for most translate that to wind, we were skipping mighty close when not connecting. And when I looked through his less expensive scope even with my bifocal glasses and my nearing 50 year old eyes I could see just fine. Now we did not do a box test yet on his reticle adjustments but we will have fun doing that. Anyway like most guys say spend what you can afford, not finance, and then go have fun.:) [/QUOTE]
