Oh Boy!

Glad it's here. Now to look it over good.

I've been dizzy as a blonde for three days. Change in meds screwing with my BP. Now changed back, after yet another Dr. visit. Been fun to keep from falling off the shop floor. Now to catch up on three extra days this afternoon! yeah ...

Gary

Can't believe you've officially turned in your Team Simmons shooting jacket. What will Mr. Simmons say?

Hey, from what I hear, blondes have more fun. Take it easy, man, and mount up that scope!

-- Jim

Oh for God's sake! You're not going to actually mount a good scope by yourself are you!!!

Maybe.

Congratulations Gary, I can't wait to see how you do when you can see the target clearly and at 32X .

Jerry don't worry when he mounts the scope it will only have a single mount. No way to get the tube in a bind that way.

We should have an even match up with the test pellets.

Kent

He will probably also mount the scope backwards and won't be able to figure out what the targets are soooooo small...lol

Sorry if i missed it but, what scope is that? You, no longer a SIMMONS man? What gives?

Oh sure ... let's poke fun at the feeble old man ...

No matter ... ya young whipper-snappers will be cry'in in your pellet tins ....

Now ... I had a scope ring round here somewhere ...

All I need is something to mount it on ...

Gary,

Did I miss the scope post?

I don't know about that delivery guy, you didn't invite him in for hot cocoa did you?

Lon

Yeah Guys ... what can I say ...

After giving the BEST YEARS of my LIFE to Hornady and Simmons .... what do I get???? HEARTACHE!!! That's WHAT!!!!

I'm sure that Nikko Sterling .... will soon be making a bobble head Gary ..... ah .... ACTION figure. Now that I've joined their team.

I bought an 8X32 by 44mm sidewheel version. Extended mil-dot. It's a new convertible less than the version Jerry got ... but it seems real nice. I have found, though, that I will need to add 5 yards to the shop ... in some direction. The AO only goes down to 15 yards. We'll see about that.

Thru the years, each time I've acquired a half decent scope ... someone has wanted it left on the gun, after testing. They've always paid me for them .... but I never go right out and replace the unit. So; my stock of half decent scopes had become a store or 1/4 decent scopes. Of course, I still have a couple dozen of the 4X Turkey scopes .... but my heart is broken for now. I Shant use a Simmons scope until it's healed over some.

For a final bite, I found that I didn't have any sufficient rings for now. I'll figure something out. Might soak a pr. of 30mm rings, and tumble them around in the drier for a few days. Maybe Kent can whip me up a pr.

Gary
