1X Scope Dilemma Fixed
Our son detests the 1X scope. It is especially bad, when they turn out to be an actual .9X or thereabouts. He wondered if mother had an old Coke bottle somewhere. He figured an old Coke bottle would work better than the dam 1X scope.
It turned out she didn't know of any. However, we did discover a worthy substitute. We were also able to keep the cost of the rings less, and the mount is good and sturdy. His birthday is in October.

I would prefer you mount a 1950's coke bottle on mine so I can see what I'm shooting at. Maybe Talley will make you some rings.

Seems like the 50’s coke bottle has a thicker bottom and would be more compact. It also seems like it would transmit light better for the early morning and evenings.

That's hilarious! You know, I'd bet if you drilled a 3/8" hole in the bottom center of that bottle it would work pretty well.

If emptying the bottle resulted in poor aiming; who would care then?
P.S. Me thinks i could be a good neighbor.
