Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!

Post by Dahliathemeh » Sun Sep 30, 2018 12:04 pm

So the better half came across something in my opinion is so silly and ridiculous that a supreme manly man, (who's secretly insecure) came up with this! If I'm wrong correct me as I'm still new to this.

Hang the word 'thermal' on it, make it glow red and display some numerical info when looking through it, price it astronomically and some newbee, wannabee (etc) will buy it because, 'Its the perfect hunting platform' (sorry - I am sick of the word 'platform')
Reality being what it is it may NOT be legal in all states for hunting as it has an electrically enhanced image.

By the time the 'super scope' has finished its calculations, the hog that you wanted for dinner will be long gone. :o

Oh, I'm sure there's someone out there that would buy that setup. After all, now and then, I run across someone on a forum that thinks anyone who shoots lever guns and revolvers are ridiculous. Each to their own, I guess.

It does not seem like it is designed for the averaged hunt.

I initially thought the video was satire ;) Seems like something more appropriate for hunting sci-fi critters, gremlins, graboids, zombies and other monsters.
Maybe it has a ghost buster option?

I would want one, just as a conversation piece and a really good laugh :lol: Think of the fun entertainment we could have with our guests while we do a re-enactment of that demo in the video!

Actually, it would have great entertainment potential. I would love to take it to the range, mounted on a 10/22, and try to keep a straight face as I show my friends the great new scope I found.
