    Nothing will ever be 100% cow proof, a structure like that just screams "rub on me" to a cow, in fact any foreign object screams that to a cow. We had Ravensdown rep out to take some soil samples a...

    Occasionally some fixed x4 power Leupold m8's pop up under your budget. Or for a tad more you could get a gloss finish 2-7x33 which would be in keeping with the rifle.
