That is where the cash comes in. Take a look at pricing on the night force 12-42. That is what I had on my tikka tactical 308. You want to go long range it will cost you. My friken bipod alone cost almost $400. Add in a monopod on the back, then the stock, rings and so on. I do miss shooting but damn it gets expensive. I wish I could shoot closer to home I would head probably head out again.

have you looked at joining the gun club at the base???

I didn't know they had a range for the public. I used to use the sherwood park range. Nicest one I have used, but now is about 1:15 drive each way. Plus they capped the membership. When I went to buy a membership the last time they had all sold out. The genesee range was ok but is a pain to join and the benches suck. But they went out to 700m the last time I was there. But still a long drive. Too many houses and acreages to just head to a field here.

I'm done with auctions for awhile. Got all jarred up at the Ducks Unlimited action last weekend and figured I was Jarod from storage wars. Spent WAY to much. Lesson learned.

I think you can make good money buying new guns and then reselling them as used. I just looked for about a month for a used Glock. Got a new one way cheaper than anything I seen used.

After all this reclassification bullsh!t going on I've decided to keep it. May never get to own another one legally again. Might have to bury this one.
I have never seen one up close. Do they shoot well? As in accurate?
