Others Another surprise from my wife 😁

[FL22]

I have almost been beating my head against a wall trying to figure out what scope for my new Taipan.

I plan on bench rest target shooting it at 100+ yards
for the most part.

I’m just going to say it, target scopes are stupidly expensive.

I read all the articles, looked at all the usual places got so deep in that I even noticed a typo at AoA listing a feature it (Athlon) didn’t have. I’ll pm them about that.

Anyway I decided on a 12-60X60 SFP MOA push lock turrets IR it also includes mounts and sunshade with dust caps. Also I purchased a large parallax wheel with it.

All delivered to my door for $430

I'm sorry, lol, did you say 12-60x60? Sounds beastly! Knowing what I know now, 24X is perfect for 100Y on my . My Midas Tac should be in any day now, can't wait!
Just curious...is the surprise from the wife her not killing you for buying the scope..or...seeing as YOU bought it?

She bought it for me, I was just showing her the cost on my phone and she asked if I was sure that it was what I wanted. Then she ordered it for me.

I guess a good thing is that it’s adjustable and there if I need it.

 

[PasadenaMike]

Them field target guys use some insane magnification scopes so it’s fine. Makes ranging more precise with the parallax wheel at 60x

Be careful, whenever my wife does something like that she expects me to sleep with her in return.
