This is the second one I have found at the office in the past month.

PM Stanley. I believe Chef is also an admin.

Yeah. I don't know why they even made them in 8 and 10 power. Should have only been 12's and 15's. I like my 12's.

Harley let me know when you get it mounted. I'd like to look through it.

Did she entangle you in her web?

About as exciting as Ping Pong.

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.
