    Cool do you have one that we can try it on Now that would be a fun scope test!

    Shot a fake ?? Burris scope once with the 308 . It just would not keep zero and I got angry at it.
    Sight it in three shots then off again... OK lets sort this out .
    Me and the midget agreed it had plenty of gas in it as it took off like an air bourne torpedo... Funny as had to be there !!

    Ok I'm happy to provide a suitable firearm for the "Forum Scope test"......who's going to provide the scopes so I can see what the difference is between physically shooting say a tasco vs a sightron with my 308..... anyone have a SB or the like to test as well We will then be able to put this bullet hole through scope thing to rest!
