This looks extremely suspicious.

The only scope I would offer would be an old Bushnell with a broke recticle .

Who knows what he is hunting in Pakistan. Show him the door and   .........

Chris: You did know what you were provoking right???

 

I have an old weaver marksman that has been subjected to some rather disturbing experiments and has been sitting in a shed for the past year or two where it has accumulated more than its original weight in dust. I beleive that this would take the cake as the best scope to send him.

 

send him a barska, or a tasco, not a world class (by far too good for this application), but a pronghorn or something of the like.

Send him a GPS equipped cell phone.  Give the # to the NSA so we can find out where he and his friends might be..

Having acertained that information we can arrange a nice care package for the entire group.

Oh darn,................there goes my warped mind again...........I just gotta get a leash for that thing

Send him the 12 oz Scope, if he doesn't like that, send him some Listerine, he probably will need both!

And wrestling is real. I don’t have a scope for this guy…but I do have some ammo I’d be willing to send him.
Finger off the trigger, finger off the

Tell him that you can't send him a scope but you are more than happy to send him some complimentary targets of Mohamed the so-called prophet.  I would donate them, but I have already shot mine up.

Even with a Barska, the shipping would cost more than the scope.....the request looks like a bizarre Hajji version of "Pay it Forward"  Odd, he's got a 7mm, I saw some primo German 8mm's in the hands of Bedouins that were leftovers from when the Nazis were trying to incite revolts against the Brits
