Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious
I know the feeling.
I got suckered into a BSA mil-dot scope a few years ago.
It won't hold zero on an AR-15. Worst POS ever.
poor glass, mushy turrets, poor construction, but to see the commercials on TV you'd think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I should have saved the money for a keg of Coors & a box of cookies.
The A-hole at the store here was convinced that it was a great deal on a great scope.
couldn't convince him otherwise. Just too bad I fell for the crap. (that's where we get into the whole "best bull shizzle" on this one).
What a F*cktard.
Now it's Vortex all the way, too bad i'm just a mid-grade shooter with a cheep boom stick. But hey, at least i'm out there doing it & i can see what the hell I am aiming at now.

A great buddy of mine and an Iraq veteran gave me a good laugh at the range last summer. Granted he was not very experienced with bolt actions. But, I shot 4-3 shot groups and 1-5 shot group at 300 yards. This was with my dedicated 600 yard F-open rig. But we measured all the groups, the 3 shot groups were all in the .3s MOA and the 5 shot group was in the low .4 MOA range. He looks at the groups and kind of laughs and tells me that I need shrink them down to be covered by a dime. I explained that these were fairly good groups especially for me. Well, 1 inch at 300 I feel is a pretty strong group. However, he wasn't having it and still gives me shit for crappy shooting.
Next,
Went to a local gunsmith/shop wit my buddy who was looking for a scope for his TC Encore in 300 mag. The owner/smith first looks at it has immediately demands to let him check the head space because the TC Encores were known to blow up in the shooters face. My buddy obliges, head space is good. Were looking at optics and the owner is dead set on him getting a BSA for it and goes on and on about how great they are. Finally, my friends agrees knowing his heavily recoiling mag will nuke the BSA. Sure enough, takes it to the range, 3 shots, toasted. I'm not sure if he sent it back to BSA or returned it to the shop, but funny none the less. </div></div>
