I want one but can’t afford it yet. I’m going to save my money and hopefully, will get my elk next year with my new rifle. I would also like to shoot an elk with my M-1 Garand, but as I age, I need a scope to get a better sight picture than with open sights.
Blued steel receiver looked better. Steel wears in , aluminum wears out.
