I'm trying to work out what moved? And what was tested? :lol:

I still remember a Varmint Hunter magazine article (or was it Precision Shooter) where a BSA scope spanked high end brands for repeatability! :mrgreen:

OK Jacko let me guess. You take a Night Force engineer(s), a bottle of Loctite 3g and call it after a month of the year and you have a POI shift free scope equiped with a CD telling you that it's not the scope, you need to learn to read wind cockhead?
I know of a half dozen or more of these sitting in cupboards that were replaced by NF comp series. And all are north of Rocky cause no-one further up knows how to shoot past 50 meters. Apparently.
But in this case the CD will be about who built the scope checker and what mounts were used with the last bit asking what checked what scope and who screwed it all together? I would answer with a Tasco of course and i lay bricks for a living.
There is always a get out clause with any insurance policy isn't there Jacko?
The answer to this is in the same vault that tells us why a bloke in a blue dress and sporting a pearl necklace and earings was on the ABC commentating about Ashes cricket. No-one dares ask because of the can of worms about to be opened.
