As some of us get into the 50-60's, scopes may be the most important piece of equipment because our eyesight won't allow anything else.

Hey, I found an Eliminator for $766 on-line, but I don't think I'll be getting one because I also found out that it's working temperature range only goes down to 14F. Hell, it doesn't get much warmer than that here during the summer!

One of my old Army buddies from Ft Lewis, WA took me home over Thanksgiving weekend many, many years ago. Brought along my Ruger Blackhawk .357 and we went out a ways from town (Dillon, MT) to put some holes in some paper plates. We were dressed in jeans, flannel shirts and winter jackets and thought little about the actual temperature. Snow was about thigh deep where we put the plates in the bank and there was little behind the plates for miles but the snow.

Wasn't until we got back to his house and looking at the thermometer that hung on the back porch did I realize that it was somewhere around -10 while we'd been out "playing in the snow". Nice dry cold and hardly felt it. But I was also a whole lot younger back then, too!
