Don't do it Dan, You can figure it out!! Ms. KB is too nice of a lady and been so much from you over the last few years for you to add to it. Suffer a little and keep the gift.. I'm all ears if you need me bro!!!!

I haven't done much shooting lately, but decided to get back to the evaluation of the subject rifle scope.  The last few nights I've been comparing it to "other" scopes in darkness... light of the moon and stars.  Weather is CLEAR, not much moon, it is waxing Gibbous, low in the sky, but stars are bright.  Nothing else comes close.  The 6-20x56 Springfield Armory is not bad, but just doesn't present the clarity and depth of vision.  At approximately 75 yards I picked up a fox and was able to study him in detail. I adjusted the IR to it's lowest level and it does not interfere with vision whatsoever.  It DOES allow for extreme ease in use of the reticle.  At 12x the fox was, for all intents and purposes, "clear as day".  At 24x it was noticeably better, but more difficult to keep him "in track" at that range.  Now, this is a purely anecdotal test, but it goes to the "useability" of the scope.  The big pluses are ease of acquisition, trackability, adjustment range of the illuminated reticle and ability to use the mid to high powers in darkness.  
I did not shoot the fox... the bolt wasn't even in the rifle... I watched him for a good hour... cute little fella... As I sat watching him forage, I remembered I had thrown out an old can of peanuts in that area a few days ago.  I didn't even know foxes liked peanuts, but he was certainly cleaning them up.

  I know this is an old thread but I just ordered this same scope after looking out of one just briefly. I may not get much of a chance to do a real good evaluation of it until spring.

I had to rename her… Kassandra is too "soft" a name… Now named for the most vicious of the Keres, Ker became the new name (violent death).  I normally use a 300 yard zero.  No real long range shooting in a long time.  I need to get to Texas to some "wide open spaces"...
