Did a little work at the backyard range this morning, sighting in a couple El Cheapos...
First up was my ATI Omni/Bear Creek Arsenal .350L AR. Bought during Trump, I have a grand total of $360 in this thing, including the brand new little Tasco World Class 2-8x32 from 2003 that I ebayed up.
Next was the youth sized 10-22 I got a month or so back for The Kid and Little Brother to begin learning the use of an automatic. It got a Simmons Pro something or other 2.5x20 that I found languishing and dust covered in a gun store. Been there for a dozen years, the guy said, and he took $40 for it...
I like the 90's-early 2000's Phillipine scopes, because at that time, they were actually BETTER than you were paying for. If you know what you are looking at, you can pay $40 for scopes that you have to spend $200-300 to improve on today.
After a few walk-ins with each, the little AR busted three snuff cans in a row at 100, and the 10-22 fed the birds today shooting corn cobs at 50.
All shooting was done off sandbags, at my ol rickety table.
Not very scientific, but effective, and fun.
