Considering that I just purchased the winning lottery ticket for the Kimber 84M Classis Select Rifle being raffled by the North Grey Bruce Rod & Gun Club I'm wondering what would be an appropriate scope choice? I'm thinking a low powered option with a substantial eye relief and wide field of view. Also wondering if I should go ahead and buy the scope now or wait until after the draw in January when I pick up my prize? http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1099506-Rifle-Raffle!!-Kimber-84M-Classis-Select-Rifle-Raffle

I don't know which scope you should buy, but you should buy it now. That way if something unthinkable goes wrong with the lottery, you'll have to go out and buy a "Kimber 84M Classis Select Rifle" anyway to go with that scope you'll have lying around.
I would get the scope and get it all ready to put on the rifle when it is drawn.
When I was shooting silhouette with big revolvers I once travelled several hundred miles to get to a well known silhouette competition. There were few, if any, restrictions on how to transport a revolver at that time. We were going with our truck and trailer, so I would carry the gun in the trailer. I had no pistol case whatsoever, so I just rolled the gun up in a pair of my old wool underwear long johns and stashed it in the trailer.
At the shoot we had to carry the revolvers to the shooting table in the "case" they were in and unrolling the underwear to get the gun caused a hearty laugh from the other shooters and spectators!
The club was raffling a solid, foam lined gun case, large enough to easily hold two big revolvers. I bought one ticket and at the draw, won it, to the astonishment of many people who remembered the wool underwear the gun came in!

Have enjoyed your stories and adventures for a few years now and any gunner who has not had the opportunity to read your book has seriously missed out on some great adventure reading.
Burris FFII - 4.5x14x42mm. Awesome on the .243, reticle perfect for hunting, holdovers and hitting long range targets. Plus, $100 rebate on right now - just ordered my 3rd from Epps, Stoeger Canada has them in stock but they're discontinued so they won't available for long - wouldn't hesitate to put one on all my rifles.

reminds me of a wonderful gentleman who was a member in our pistol club years ago who quit the club shortly after the regulations requiring transport of handguns in a locked case were introduced. He used public transit because he didnt own a car and used to carry his .22 target pistol in a couple of old shopping bags wrapped in rags. He explained it was very secure because what self respecting "hood" was going to steal an old mans ratty old plastic bag probably containing dirty underwear from him... and he said I am sure not going to hurt anyone trying to steal from me.... I think he was right but the "law" decided he was an evil threat to mankind...so he gave up shooting. What a shame! He was a veteran of WWll as well and a real gentleman ... really pisses me off!
