There is an interesting dynamic going on here. The usual suspects, and they know who they are; are tinkering with the link. I've made a lot of friends, and two or three enemies on the world wide web.

I just clicked on the link and, believe it or not; 61 regular folks voted that they benefited from my little review.

Incredibly, one person has voted negatively, 137 times, so far.

What a scream! [Smile]

If the same person voted 137 times then he needs to get a life.That doesnt concern me as much as the 61 that voted to say that review helped them with their decision.No wonder companies spend so much on advertising each year.Gulliability of the public.You do realize we're doomed dont you? [Eek!]

Two other identical scopes, in matte. Reviews posted in 2003, and the number of readers that found them helpful, or not helpful.

I think I exercised poor judgement in posting this on the board, in the first place. When will I ever learn? LB

I found it to be a quick read and quite frankly couldn’t put it down.

Well thought out plot with interesting characters. Filled with action commingled with subtle humor as only Leonard can manage.

A sure bet to become yet another Michael Moore Hollywood sleeper, eh Higgy?

Thanks, Jay. I thought the same. Michael Moore has been leaving messages since yesterday. About time this rinky dink message board paid off!

Gee, Dick. I couldn't understand all of the words but it had a good beat and was easy to dance to. I gave it a five.

Rich, you (apparently) have weird taste in music. In fact, unless my speakers are on the fritz, I didn't hear any sound, at all?

Great bedtime reading...

when you buy any scope, don't you expect it to look good on your rifle? be able to see through it and for it to arrive in good shape from the vendor?

I don't know that I have ever purchased a scope that didn't meet those qualifications....

Leonard... glad you got a scope to meet your needs... [Big Grin]

Definitely two thumbs up!

The twist in the plot at the end left me counting the days until the sequel is out.

I could have done without all the graphic language though. The subtle nudity didn't detract from the overall review in my opinion.

All in all, it was well worth the $9 show ticket, $5 popcorn, and $5.50 small soda.

Norm, I had a black scope on it, before. The stainless Mark II action and barrel and the stainless finish scope and s/s rings was a cleaner look. That's all I meant, an improvement; ya know? And, the selection of silver scopes, from any Mfg is limited, this was a deciding factor. I think you're messing with me. [Smile] Did you want me to take it apart, or drive nails with it?

Okay, I'll revise my review:

"Yeah. Looks decent, works okay (yawn)"

Well, now the descriptive text arises... were the readers to assume that you were matching stainless with stainless? Possibly....

Leonard; I don't know of anyone on this board that would mess with you or your product reviews...

BTW; Did you have to bore sight the new scope or was is self adjusting after your attached it to your rifle?? [Big Grin]
