i have so damn many spoons(fetish) that i can never remember a "zero" on them. thats why all are marked with the "zero" we set.

the smartest thang you can do going down this very expensive unforgiving road(sounds alot lak a 911) is to BUY THE SAME SCOPES from SAME MFG and say settle on a leupold 3.5 X 10. that way each and every spoon has same MOA (1/4"=1 click or 1/2"= 1 click) and save yerself a hell of alot of freeking headaches thinking about comeups and zeros. and to this effect using the same ammo on all of them helps alot. ie. federal match on all of my .308's. ask me how i know.

this sage advice holds true for other calibers also. why? cuz yer familiar with scope already from other spoons.


i really really tried to NOT buy a ton of different scope mfgs. over the years. mine are all leupolds/cheap ass bushnells for the kids on .22's and .30/.30's and obviously this springfield monster on the super duper match. which i really do like alot and im sad to say springfield does NOT offer them anymore. its a hell of a scope with great clarity,and has never failed me in rain sleet, or snow. plus it is ILLUMINATED like the hensoldt and early mornings and that wonderful 1/2 hour of legal hunting after the sun has gone down, the illuminated reticle is the KATZ AZZ!


spoke to phil arrington yesterday and we will be meeting for lunch next week and THE BUILD IS ON! cant wait to hit the range when this is done.

phil took my tired azz beat to snot 1944 winchester m-1 carbine in the original winchester stock and made it into a hell of a lil deer rifle. we ditched the oem wood stock(look at what an oem stock goes fer and you will poo yerself) and dumped action into a fiberglass black evil stock. phil went thru it completely and we added chrome silicon springs and did a trigger job on it. its a wonderful fast slinging deer gun for me,wifey, or small kids of legal hunting age. this also got a picitinny rail on it for my down the road evil plan of taking lightweight solar powered ZEISS REFLEX RED DOT scope and interchanging it with the SOCOM! yes the socom has a picatinny rail on front also. that way which ever i decide to use, gets the zeiss. so (1) scope for mutiple spoons. cheap effective.


phil also did the trigger job on the SOCOM and helped me with that build. one of his suggestions that im gonna jump on is to ditch the rear ghost ring site and go with a National MATCH rear peep aperature. i will leave the wide front socom sight in place, its NUKLAR anyway and glows in da dark. butt my groups should be better with this NM peep aperature and im gonna have him hand file one for me for my handfitting and try it.
