    That is sad. Maybe he will be so embarrassed he will give up and not shoot service again. Knowing he needs to spend $2k on a scope to match the other guys which costs more than his rifle. I hope he was not put off by others as I know some users of "cheap" scopes that have out-shot scopes worth thousands.

    Oh I don't think so. He seemed pretty ok about it and was talking about taking it back and hitting them up for another. But he could just wind up with another dodgey one. We didn't rub him up too much about it. U can guess who (RSO) was actually going out of his way to try and get the thing on paper, interspersed with guttural Afrikaaner-speak about chi-com this and that...
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I can picture that so clearly Some reputations are so widely known even when I have never shot up there.

    Same here. Whats funny is watching somone wank on about how much there acog is worth and how great it is and then they get outshot by a guy with an ncstar. They either go quiet or cant make excuses fast enough. Flash gear dont make you a shooter. You pick out those that are there to shoot over those that are there to look cool pretty quick!
