...until today!!!
I went to the range today to finish off my 30 Badger loads, they were a wee bit too lite and left some unburnt powder in the bore. As I was shooting the president of the club came down and we started BS-ing, I had him shoot the Badger and told him when he needed the indoor trap cleaned to let me know.
He asked if I found a scope for the 30-06 yet and we got to talking about proper mounts. So he says he wants to give me some lead and can I swing by his house... Well sure! I show up and he gives me 2 5 gallon buckets of *almost* powdered 22 lr bullets, It has to be 200 lb and then about 30 ft of lead water pipe!
Then he goes in his house and brings out a scope, a Bausch & Lomb Balvair 8 with the mounts! This is a 2.5x8x32 scope where the mounts adjust the POI. He says I would sell this do you like it? I said yeah how much?
$75
I walked away with a kick arse scope and 250 ish lb of lead, a great day!!!
