IMHO you spent well!
IMHO you will be swapping out a second best scope for the best of the "also ran" scopes. (Wow that will get some peoples juices flowing
LOL) But you do get to choose.
By all means hunt it. Why won't you? I have always liked to hunt with fancy guns because most of hunting is waiting and at least if you have a pretty gun you can admire it as you wait. Wish I had had an engraved M16 in Nam, as it would have made the weeks of boredom between moments of terror more tolerable.
Long time ago I think you bought an old Mark X stock from me for I think a gun for your grand daughter or someone, did that ever work out for ya?
