    Got a new scope...

    For my LabRadar I got a cheap EER scope, a Hammers Long Eye Relief one.

    It'll do for aiming the LabRadar (Minute of Target accuracy at 100-200 yards anyways!) but...

    I hadn't seen duplex crosshairs before that "squiggled". Good enough to aim a Chronograph but - Ew. LOL

    Of course I'm used to decent glass on everything else, just amusing to me, glad that's not on a Contender!

    True! It'll do the job, it's not like the LabRadar has serious recoil or needs a perfect scope I'm just glad that's not what MOST scopes look like. -shudder-

    I'd thought of that, don't have good resources for it though, sadly. This one will do for now.

    i bought one of the cheap scopes out of china an 8-24 x 50 for $28 and free shipping. for that price what the heck. i was totally surprised it actually ain't a bad scope put it on a mini 30 and it has worked great so far. i have only had it for six months or so not sure it will last but 28 dollars. some of the leupold knock offs arnt to bad either the chi coms bought the old leupold equipment and are making copies. don't get me wrong i would prefer to have a nice brand name scope but i am on ssi and you get by with what you must.
