Mike, what a classic scope! You had no choice.
Actually I must confess that the decision was not entirely mine. Herself fell in love with the rifle and I was just happy to be there. I've cleaned it up, gotten ammo, got reloading dies, will reset the scope to her eyes, etc. I will not be the first to pull the trigger on it (I will be second though:) )
She has expensive tastes in good wood and blued steel. I think I may be partly the enabler on these things, and I will not apologize for it. Learned in the past if she does not like something, I benefit as it gets moved to my collection.
