Being bored leads to awkward

Post by brm4450 » Sat Sep 05, 2020 3:59 pm

Due to knee surgery I’ve been limited to activities so today boredom set in and was digging in drawers and cabinets and found this old scope and you can see the results; BBS + Scope = Awkward. :shock:

Those old B&L scopes are great scopes. Be a shame not to use it.

I didn't realize that our knees had so much to do with our way of thinking. Now I know why I flunked Algebra, I was trying to use my brain. :D

Lol, we better cut 4450 some slack. It wasn't the scope that is wrong, he just mounted the wrong rifle on it. Ooops!

I well remember hunting from a stand overlooking fields and/or into deep woods wishing I had a scope with higher magnification .... I never recall wishing I had less .... I have 3X9 Nikons mounted on our BBS 44 and 357 .... there have been times when I wished they were 4X12's or stronger .. ;)
