CNC loves guys like you!

A rest is not a luxury. Lack of a rest is poor planning, even from a climber.


You're only as good as your worst shot-

and a conquest v4 3-12x56. honestly trying to get away from 56mm scopes. i may just sell them all and get something else.


Wow, choosing between 2 of Meopta's finest scopes is a tough choice. I would opt for the MeoStar 3.5-10X50, though it's an apples-to-apples choice between the 2. I have a few MeoStar scopes, which are as good as they get in low-light conditions. I took a feral hog years ago, well after dark, at 100 yards with just moonlight. I am thankful I could use low-level illumination to make a one shot stop. No matter which scope you choose, it's win win.

8x is enough, and it's as much as you can get in the last minutes of shooting light.
