I have been a dermatology PA for almost 16 years. 99% of the things I see in clinic are conditions that I have been treating for years and years and am really comfortably with. Every good clinician will understand when they need help from a superior. I rely on my supervising physicians for assistanc...

That’s really cool…. I was hoping they would make the z3 in illumination but they don’t. Would hate to get 29 minutes past sunset on an overcast day and didn’t spend the money on an illuminated reticle….....

Just bumping this thread to try and find a gun shop or gunsmith on the Northshore that will help me see what will fit my rifle.

Yes. I have nice leopold binoculars. One of the reasons I want a new scope is that a couple of Saturdays ago, I was hunting around dusk on a cloudy day and watching 3 doe looking with my binoculars. Once I pulled my scope up I could barely see them. ...

I was reading online that the 50mm lens might look out of place or silly on a BLR. Most of them on another board were using 30-34mm lenses, but that defeats my purpose of low light visibility (I don’t see good at dusk). I really don’t care about looks as long as the scope is compatible with the gun....
