Cabelas' 3x10x40 Powder Horn
A little more on this new scope.
This is the first thread I posted about the scope...
http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/blac...-ml-scope.html
Finally had time to mount the scope on a Remington 700ml (45 cal). I used Weaver bases and Warne QD rings.
The scope is amazing clear, @ $99's the glass can not be the greatest in the world, or may it can be better than I am thinking. It runs from 3 to 10 power very nicely - I can not see nor do I percieve a change in focus. With my eye sight I have the 'fast focus' eye piece turned out about 1/2 way.
Just for drill I asked Terry to measure eye relief for me. I was pleasently surprised. For me with the scope on 3 power Terry measures 4 1/2" and with the scope on 10 power she measured 4 1/8".
Hopefully, I will get a chance to shoot a sight-in target before the end of August - but time is so short and the temp s so hot...

It is almost 9:00 pm here and I just went out on the deck with it and sighted in on the top of a conifer probably 150 yards down range - that shot would not be a problem... Just a sec I'll take my Tikka Win Mag out it has a VXII on it... Dang! I forgot how light the Tikka is, anyway I did not see much difference between the two at all. I could see the limb really well with both.

It is really hot here! to hot to shoot and a little busy also.
Soon as this conversion gets here from Canada, maybe I slip out and shoot a sight in target with this new Remington...
