I can post it here. I did not because 1. it is not particularly Handy related 2. Dale asked me specifically for the info and I know he looks here a lot so I just used this to give him a heads up 3. It is long. I get windy, probably too windy for my own or anyone else's good. I try to get detailed and it is still misinterpreted because I left something out or I looked at it a different way. I am not complaining. This is a great place to bounce ideas around and express opinions without getting people upset. I do not want to upset any one. If it is OK with GB, Mac, and Tim, I will post it here. If it should be posted in another area I can do it there instead. ;D

Since folks are interested in the Bushy (you already spilled the beans!! ::)) to use on their Handi, you probably should just post it in the optics forum, then link to it here as an alternative which technically would be approapriate since it's not mounted on a Handi......yet!

Thank you Tim. I wanted to post it, but did not find the appropriate forum. I really do like communicating with the guys here. I am not a mister know-it-all, because I do not know it all, even if I do come off that way some times. ::) My intentions are to have a good talk and let the ideas and opinions roll. I am not sure how to do a link, but I will give it whirl.

Thanks LaOtto. I found it to be interesting. You sure have a good shooting gun there!!! ;D I agree with you that changing the AO does not seem to affect the point of impact. I was surprised the adjusting the mag. ring changed the point of inpact by as much as a inch. Any way you look at it that was still nice shooting. You are right about the bullets going through the same hole. With the grouping you were getting I do not believe you missed the target. Tim since I do have this scope on my 204 Handi can we post it here?

Tim what I meant was could we post his report on the scope here since I have it on my Handi? ::)

I see no reason to post it again here, the link is already posted. The reason it's there is when someone wants info on a particular scope, it's in the Optics forum where it should be and folks expect to find it and look for it with the search function which will be back online as soon as Matt upgrades the servers in the next couple weeks. ;)
