Do you have any suggestions for materials Bob?

That's awesome !

We tend to agree with the short carbine idea. This little guy decided to argue a little bit, short handy gun with a couple quick follow up shots settled him down.

They were always great to deal with. I did business with them since the 80's and was proud to know them. Fantastic family! Enjoy retirement.

I remember the 29.99 Tasco 3x9 that weren't actually too bad at least functional.

I had one I bought to test some stuff and ended up putting it on a friend's 10/22 when he showed up with a POS Barska off amazon , we tried that barska for a couple years , 4x clarity and eye relief were awful and 4x was really too much magnification and too narrow a field of view on that model fort the distances he was usually shooting

Fussy lot! Anyone who says shes not attractive must have drain bamage....

Is it the left eye droop that's throwing you off ?

To be fair, if a photographer caught me at the right time and angle , might appear on the spectrum. Ischemic stroke, aside. That part mostly cleared up.

…. I like to carry a short carbine as most shots are within 75 yards

Little envious of you folks in bear country .

I also said that about people who lived in areas with hogs. That was thirty years ago before I knew what pigs do . So , I'm a little hesitant to wish.

Sam , if you really want to go down a rabbit hole ; download "The Complete Works of the Church Fathers" . I downloaded it to my Kindle which took a couple hours for the some 50,000 pages. Then as you read, cross reference with that. Doesn't matter if you're Orthodox, Catholic, or evangelical protestant we all began at the same place. And just about all of them ended up with their necks on the block to bring us the Good News.

Be glad for the time you have him and make the most of it. Prayers for you and yours
