I've become convinced that a night vision scope is competently unnecessary to hunt at night. I'm no expert at night hunting, but have done a crap ton of research on it and have done enough of it to believe I'm correct in this.
The first thing you need to understand is that animals simply are...
Optics of any type may be the best example of "You get what you pay for". Also, "Buy once, cry once."
I've seen little difference in spotting scopes that cost from around $400 to $800. Break the $1000 mark and you start seeing real optical improvement. This was recommended to me by @cmshoot and...
My thought would be that the most likely people to be concerned about the name, rather than function, would be the mall ninja type, but that would apply whether they liked the name or not. :cool:
Unless you are planning on using the Winchester for decoration only, get a new scope. Scopes from that time frame can't stand up to the $35.00 Walmart specials of today.

Just a thought. You may want to consider a scope that has a lower power. Something along the lines of a 1x4. 4 power is more than enough for 200 yards and the low end will make the rifle effective in CQB. I have messed with all kinds of optics for my AR and have ended up with the Bushnell Elite...
This holster, in a snap belt loop design, is the only holster I use anymore for CCW. It is much faster and easier to use than the Serpa design. It secures the pistol very well and with about 15 minutes of practice you can draw just as fast as you can with a holster that secures the pistol with...
