sweet deal. Did you happen to look at any other scopes while you were shopping?
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I have the VXI on my .270 and the new Redfield on my .300 Wby.  Love them both, you will be happy with either one. I think they are basically the same scope.  They're made in the same factory now.
I do like the reticle on the Redfield a little better.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
