Well, with recent success with my 20 gauge on small game, I wished to take out the 10/22 and harvest a few bunnies with 22 fodder.
This was a very late afternoon hunt. I arrive and load up my Ruger and glance through the scope. Oops, looks like a bit of road dust in the air still, kind of hard to see through it. No matter, I turn the varible Burris down to 2 power (2-7) and sling the carbine and carry on down the forested trail. Twenty five or thirty minutes later and there are one, two, three, four bunnies on the seismo trail cut in the forest. Distances from 55-114 yards. I get down into position and prepare to shoot with a sling wrap from the prone.
Hell! Looks like London's fog through there!!!
Curse to myself, as I set down the rifle & watch the lucky rabbits playing through the Leica 1200 CRF.
Head back to the vehicle. It's now much too late to get the shotgun, and I count another 7 rabbits as I'm leaving this area.
PS: I did have, 3 years of trouble-free service from the last repair by Savy Optics, the Burris Repair facility in Colorado. The second failure was loose reticles, after about 200 rounds of rimfire. The first failure, the same issue was 50 rounds of use before the crosshairs came loose.
Guess a brand-new-to-me Leupold is my next purchase.
