major surgeries for me this year. Looks like I'm getting a multi level lami in February. Doc said 6-8 weeks before I could go back to lifting.

Will there be a box for Ben to put those he catches into too? Or just hang up victims by their ankles? |

What was that vortex model that failed on you? |
|
|
|
|
Posted: 2/7/2024 5:41:26 AM EDT
[#45]
It was a 2.5-10x32 Gen 1 Viper PST. No idea on age, other than it was a low 4 digit serial number IIRC. Vortex replaced it with another Gen 1. My top mounted RMR saved my bacon on stage 2 though, since the scope was just about a paperweight after stage 1.
I will give it the benefit of the doubt in that it got soaked from that last rain storm after setting obstacles, and then left under the truck and on top of my pelican overnight. While it stayed out of more rain, it was exposed to whatever cooling and heating cycle while still totally soaked. I can't say for sure, but getting wiped down and actually sealed in the pelican case might have saved it. I was worried about putting it in there, soaking the foam and having rusting issues down the road, and that's why I didn't do that. |

I have the exact same scope and was debating running it, but your experience is giving me pause. I need to quit dicking around and just get my holds down.
