Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

If you get a scope, get a Leupold. They are without question the absolute best buy for the money. They are not cheap, but well worth it. They are made in the USA, in Beaverton, Oregon.

I used to work for them. I worked on design and development for efficiency and cost effectiveness. I spent a summer tearing apart 52 scopes from other manufacturers. I was studying their design to see if there was anything worth pursuing. Before I tore them apart, I ran them all through Leopold's final inspection process. Not a single one passed. Everything from a $30 scope to a $1200 scope- not one passed the test that ALL Leupold scopes must pass.

The Rifleman and VX1 series are my designs.

Its not so much as WHAT scope to put on, but more that I don't know what type of mount to get. Any thoughts on that?

The lower the rings the better. Get the shortest ring mounts that will fit your gun.

What about a forward mount vs side mount vs a mount above the ejection? That's my biggest dilemma. The top eject makes its awkward.
 
hubby says go with a forward mount...I know nothing myself about guns...and he saw the photos and loves them...he is a gun enthusiast for sure.

Cool I'll keep that in mind. As well as Jodies info.

Watching the ducks try to drink from their water dish this morning with it covered in 1/2 inch of ice. PRetty hilarious :)
 
Forward mount. It is difficult to adjust to a side mount and above the ejection puts the scope too high for accuaracy.
 
Thanks Jodie!


Okay, I think I just got a great idea. I need a fast growing natural barrier between me and the neighbors but we don't have much space between the fence and the creek.

What about BAMBOO?
