scopes
I have a few old scopes that I'm going to replace.
One is a Bushnell 3X9 Scopechief with a BDC. It's prob 30 years old and almost every year needs to be tweaked.
Another is a cheap Simmons 3X9 which is on a slug gun and is not very clear.
The 3rd is a fixed 4X Bushnell on a 30-30.
I have a dominant eye problem after having stuck a sawzall blade in there a few years back.
Parts of our state require you to verify a buck has 3 points up disregarding the brow tine. I have passed on a few deer due to this.
I was considering getting a couple Leopold 4X12 Rifleman scopes to have the additional magnification to see if a deer has the legal points. They run about $250.
I haven't looked through any yet but is there enough difference to justify the additional power over a 9X.
At 64, I doubt I will change again. .
