...Ah! ...I just read an older “Refurb Day” post and deducted that we just supposed to storm the AA website and place orders for available refurbs there....
Just saw this, probably 20 days too late (DANG IT!), and I’m not familiar with your “Refurb Day” procedures. Definitely interested in a couple of different Vortex models (RZR-42708 and PST-5259). -MM
I’m local. I can buy it online and sell it to you locally if you want... (just kidding).

I'm using a 4x32 fiber optic (ACOG style) with a "tree" reticle out to 150 yards consistently, but consistently hinges solely on precision loading of the ammo. I'm running a Thompson Machine 30 and pushing the 180 grain projectiles just under the "crack". This minimizes the drop and keeps...
