[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1160170, member: 711"] [COLOR="Red"][/COLOR] You aren't kidding. Those are scope breakers and shoulder bruisers, but they shoot far and flat. Great in bean fields where 500 yards is the norm. Don't have one, but am always looking for a bargain in one. I believe Hathcock also did quite a bit with .308 weapons. His .50 scope was designed to go on the twin .50s that were standard for about every camp. He would bolt it on, sight it in, and had an instant sniper .50. I will never forgive the Marine Corps for the way they treated him in terms of his retirement. He did everything while suffering from MS through most of his very distinguished career, and only a few months before normal retirement they forced him out, very much against his will, on a medical. It made a difference in his retirement pay and hurt his feelings. I was very sorry to hear he had died. He was on my short list of people to meet. CB [/QUOTE]
