I picked-up a new rifle so my boys and I could get on the 'suppressor' wagon. (Ranch buddy let one of my sons use his silenced rifle on our NM pronghorn hunt last year, and we're sold on them! lol) Anyway, against my better judgement, I stopped by Bass Pro on a whim late last week and rushed into buying a low-end Vortex scope. VERY limited hours for scope mounting services, so I went to Healy Arms yesterday to have them mount it.
After talking to Mark's staff there, I ended-up buying a scope from them that is perfect for us! (Gonna go return the other one to BP.) Mark was super cool, as always, and he had the scope mounted and ready to go in short order. Knowledgeable and helpful! Good guys!
Side note: I've always used scopes with the 'hash marks' built-in for holdover. We aren't super long-range shooters, so never went with the fancy and relatively complicated turret systems. In talking to Mark's guys, they said they didn't have any rifle scopes with hash marks, but they showed me Leupold scope with the 'CDS' system. It's awesome. It's basically turret management for dummies like me! No more holdovers for 300/400/500 yard shots.
GO SHOP HEALY ARMS!!
