Gut feeling says Vortex because of the warranty. But they can't handle any abuse that a kid will most likely dish out. I would say Leupold VX Series, uncomplicated and very durable. 2-7, 3x9 or 4-12 in more than enough for that caliber (a Fav of mine).

It seems to be a common operation for people in their 40's and early 50's. Recovery was fairly text book for the younger friends of mine who have gone though it.

Correct. Nikon is no longer making scopes. I looked at the P-223 and the Leupold equilivent and you loose eye relief on the Leupold as the power is increased. Not the case on the Nikon.

Hunted 29 alot in the 80's and 90's down by Portal and BP always had groups of them sitting on the side of the road.

Can the light be reset or is it one and done?

The EP Line use Japanese glass and the SH uses Chinese glass. They do get some great reviews. Worth looking into for sure. https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/about-arken

Great scope but he is looking for a Spotting Scope not a Rifle Scope.

Trijicon ACOG.

They usually have a large selection of used tanks at reasonable prices.

All that yeast gets em bloated.

Worth every bit of $150 in that condition.

They usually don't have a second draw so you can get them OTC.

Casey, I have a 243 Savage Axis Compact. Barrel is probably 20" and the LOP is probably 12" but I can measure it. It's pretty light and has a trigger set to aboit 2#'s. Let meknow if you want to borrow it for a while, I have ammo too. You can shoot it and compare the recoil to the 257 to see which one is lighter. I think I have a Zeiss 3x9 on it. LMK I won't be shooting it for the rest of the year.

I want one of those.

Do you have a link? I checked here but it wasn't updated. Either that or I'm blind. https://www.azgfd.com/more-than-2200-permit-tags-remain-for-2023-spring-hunts/#:~:text=More than 2%2C200 permit-tags remain for 2023 spring hunts&text=A total of 2%2C201 leftover,659 archery-only javelina

They are located in Gilbert.

Nice buck Greg. Too bad about the bear though.

Some species of Sun Spider.

Only Woke Fudds on Twitter.

That will make a nice Christmas present.

My 1/2" Drive gave up the ghost. Does anyone offer a replacement anymore? Can I buy a new set of gears? I was replacing the boot on my fron steering stabilizer and as it turns out it was shot. Probably a 5-10 year old Rancho. I ordered a FOX 2.0 replacement since that's what I am running since I replaced the BIlsteins about three years ago.

The ACE on Broadway and Priest did the exchange no problem.

Probably Rod's on Higley and Brown.
