Man that is my peeve too.
The other one that get me is when someone describes their scope as a 3x10x50 as if it had a 3rd dimension.
I think I spend too much time on gun forums.
Shane, I could not agree more. That irritates me too, everytime I see some describing a scope like that....

I always bite my tongue, but still it gets to me......... Sometimes, for instance someone will just say they have a 4X12 and I know they mean 4-12 X whatever but I almost say something to the effect of "gee, that sure is a compact scope you got there".

Anyway, back to the topic.......detachable mag would be preferred over tube feed for me as well.
