So, I've got a couple scopes for one of my 10/22's.  Bushnell 3-9x32, or a Simmons 8-point 3-9x40.  Both cheap low end, but both good enough for this rifle.  It has a 20" green mountain barrel and a Hornet trigger.

Best optics forum... which is the least crappy of these two scopes?

I got the Bushnell so long ago, I forget how much it was.  The eyepiece is larger than the objective lens, just by a little bit.  It might have been $40-60 back in the mid 2000's.

The Simmons was like $40, I think, with a $30 rebate, I think.  Got it maybe 4-5 years ago.

I need to make sure I get a little OT now and then to cover the "healthcare fee" for not wanting to disclose my personal information to several 3rd party companies.  They wanna charge me more, I'll just "work" some OT to cover it.

I think it was the Kinzua bridge in PA that I was on as a kid.  Apparently in 2003 a tornado took down most of it, but that fucker was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way down.  I remember walking across the bridge, looking down thru holes, and the railing was... let's say... not "safe".    Things were better in the 80's.


Was there last summer.

But I bet the GM is more concerned with getting his ass kissed.


That's the problem with many small/medium businesses.

That shit don't fly when the GM answers up to a CEO who is held accountable to a board and shareholders.

Wife has a bunch of GMs reporting to her, each responsible for multi-billion/year business units, they are either aligned with company goals and delivering without causing problems or they are gone.

IMO, a large part of the problem is the regional manager. He does not comprehend the realities of HVAC in this area and that our selling season is different than the gulf coast. So the GM is doing what he's been told to do, but it does not work as well as they want to here.

It's also absurd to drop pricing to sell a job without having the customer give anything up. IMO, it makes us look like cheats and word like that gets around in this town.


Reputation has value, you can have well paid staff who do good work if your reputation supports your pricing, but once you go down the slippery slope of being the low bidder you will be stuck there and the only way to be profitable is to cut corners and pay less.

And the vet said he was the sweetest, easiest pig she'd ever had to work on. She likes pigs, but she was not thrilled to get a call out for a pig with a broken leg. She said that's usually a nightmare call if it's anything bigger than a piglet. But Peanut Butter just rolled over when she scritched his belly and laid still for the whole casting procedure and even the injection of pain medicine. He talked to her a little bit, and the sows came over to check on us, and the vet said she had found a new favorite breed of piggie and that if we ever needed anything for them again, to call her first.
