We should start a new thread.............."What optics will we be discussing when I become Optics Retard?"

I imagine a scope that goes from 1-50x that has a VX-L like 70mm lens with a built in 2,000 yard laser rangefinder with a digital reticle that auto compensates for drop.  It will also utilize special coatings ala C.S.I. that make blood glow in the dark.  Of course it will have a built in hard drive to record everything you see and do (exportable via a USP port or SD card).  It will also have a non-game species setting that allows it to convert to a combination of thermal heat vision and 6th Generation night vision that will cause coyotes to be put on the endangered species list which will cause B. H. Obama II to issue an executive order outlawing all scopes.

I would expect binoculars that you wear like glasses that automatically adjust power so you can see what your looking at.  Digital should make that realistic before too long.  One thing we be be sure of is that nothing will be "just glass".

um, i did pile a bunch of snow up one time and rode my mountain bike off the roof of my parents house into the snow pile, so i guess use your own judgement on determining my level "retardedness"

hmm lets see ed is at 6700 now so maybe by the 4th of july it will change. mark is ahead of him i know, but im sure ed will get to 10k before mark doesat ed's current ppd number (16) it will take him exactly 204 days to get to 10k post's. funny thing is that to get 16 posts per day average you really got make more like 40 posts a day so im thinking i will be close with my guess.
