Re: Leupold 6X scope

I can guarantee you that it's rock simple and reliable, but what application are you thinking of one for? A 6X fixed power for north of Brainerd has my curiosity piqued. Mostly pests and target. Lots of open land where I go up north too. Seems all my 3-9x scopes are set to 5-6x. It seems to be only...

Red Dot?

Red Dot is what I have been able to find, so that's what I've got plenty of (this is sure a crummy time to get into reloading). Can some of you tell me if you use it and/or like it for the standard rimmed pistol calibers? Or should I put the stuff on Craigslist and try to acquire something else? If ...
