    Rifle Scopes Update on the USO C2 scope

    I did some range work with Kent today and we got some more "field" pictures just to see how the reticle stacks up against the original concept. It exceeded expectations. The simplicity of the reticle makes it a no brainer to accurately engage targets w/o even getting into doing the math of...
