To scope or not?

I have been using Warne Steel QD rings, for probably a decade, and they return to zero perfectly.

My rings are warne. Not sure which variety.

Zoom is your friend...

Our meeting was for a grant proposal. We got 20,000 for a pond restoration project.

So where's the pond and can I ice fish there?

So where's the pond and can I ice fish there?

It’s a public pond, only about 2 acres. It was iced over last week, but I don’t think I’d trust it after today for a few days. Our grant will lower it, dredge parts of it out, use the dredge material to build silt ponds in the watershed, build a trail with angler benches around the pond and then raise the original level of the pond by about 2 feet. When we fish surveyed the pond there were many bass 5-6 pounds, bluegill and crappie. We did not catch any catfish even though there are supposed to be some in the pond.

That is a good pond to bring kids to. Lots of bluegills in the 4-5 inch range. I’ve never seen anyone ice fish in that pond.

Do you wear glass's? If so and your like me, you can't focus on open sights very well anymore. That leaves getting a scope. On a muzzle loader and 100yd limit, without a doubt a low power fixed scope. Now I haven't tried shooting open sight's with my computer glass's but looked through them with my 38 spec the other day. /sights clear as a bell, down range not so good. Thought about it and if my reg glass's didn't have that close up deal in them anmd had been set to my computer glass's, I do believe it would work fairly well. Of course you might not win any shooting match's that way!

I do not wear glasses. I have 3-9x scope on my muzzleloader. The 100 yard range is more about that that distance is all the further I need to shoot where I hunt.
