I've never had a scope problem in many decades of "wandering the woods". I'm pretty much a fanboy of the old Leupold Vari-X II scopes, since back...
Some states already have specific laws against "Uttering terroristic threats". No new RFL needed.

I guess the most primitive bore-sighting I ever did was when I lived in town for a while. I set some books on the dining table and pointed the...
