Just curious, but what does a ~1400$ scope do that an average scope does not?  I only know firearms to the point that I can safely use my pistol, but I'm interested.

I didn't spend the whole $1400 on the scope but I did get a high quality, 5 star reviewed, precision instrument that was on sale at a substantial discount. It's going on an equally high precision rifle. No sense in putting a cheaper, barely adequate scope on a rifle that can shoot gnat's eye groups. You buy glass equal to the weapon.

Rachel's reply mentioned only a few things you look at in a scope. You look at workmanship guarantees too. How well does the manufacture back-up their products? The scope I bought has a no-questions-asked, lifetime guarantee.

Mine is in my bank, along with my tax refund. It will be going toward my Nevada vacation.

The bit about gnat's eyes reminded me of a Clint Eastwood movie called Heartbreak Ridge.  Eastwood plays a Marine and pretty much everyone in the movie tries to keep up with his acting skills.  And there's this quote:

"Be advised. I'm mean, nasty and tired. I eat concertina wire and piss napalm and I can put a round in a flea's ass at 200 meters."

"Stimulus check" - at last a properly named gov't program.

I received mine via direct deposit, but I'm still waiting to get "Stimulated". ;D ;D  Although, I did donate a portion to Saphire's go fund me.  I've known her for a number of years now and it's sad knowing that she's going through another battle with cancer. :(

I think that's a great use of the money, especially with the promised match. I understand there are many that have lost jobs and need it just to cover living expenses, but helping each other is always a great move.

(although spending it on a scope still stimulates the economy as well, if its American made, all the better)

I used a big chunk of mine to fund a trip back home to visit my family and set up a memorial service for my mom. We had to cancel her funeral last year due to COVID, so its time to payback once all of us are vaccinated in May.
