I use the Merit adjustable, it works on making the front sight be in focus; I superglue it onto a clip-on sunglasses. I use a snap swivel & fishing line to make a saftey line so when the eyepiece...

Do what you CAN (do your best). Know when to stop fighting the problem. Tell her you Love her. Accept that you can not make it "right".

Browning offers a lever action with a 4 or 5 round clip in .223. NOTE - my info is from 2 years ago, I opted for a 30-06.
