Bueller? Anyone? :confused:

Well what are you going to be using the ruger for? target? varmint? defense? militia training?

Unfortunately I don't know too much about inexpensive optics :(

But, with that being said if I were in the market for one I would just go to Cabela's and buy it from there since they will stand behind whatever manufacturer they sell, which looks to me to be of quality.

As a casual shooter I would go for a 4-6X power scope.

Hopefully that helps.

My two cents

Bushnell makes some good inexpensive optics.

Thanks for the replies guys, it's just for home defense and plinking, so it doesn't need to be too fancy.

Funny thing is there won't be a second term.

There'd better not be! :facepalm:

Consider the following:

- Doctors consider the presence of guns in a house to be a health risk
- Obamacare is an attempt to create total dependance on the government for our healthcare

With that being said I expect after private healthcare is eliminated that there will be a regulation created that bars gun owners from utilizing the government healthcare system. Of course criminals don't give a wit about either healthcare or legal gun ownership. Also this doesn't technically violate the 2nd amendment either.

Why stop there? I am sure that cars over a certain horsepower will be declared a health risk as well.

I don't consider myself to be a conspiricy theorist, I am just surmising based on the abhorant behavior of our politicians.

I took my son for his check up at 1yr 8months and one of the questions was, "Are firearms present in the house". Due to my job, of course, there are lots of guns lol. So I checked yes. And then for then next 5min I was drilled by the Doc on where they are stored, if they are accessible, who knows the combos, how often are they taken out, are they left out, and on and on and on.

Your doctor works for you. You hire him in the same way you hire a plumber. You're under no obligation to answer any question your doctor puts to you. I would have left that question blank or written "none of your business".

I take the opposite approach: Doctors are being told to ask these questions because their profession has as a whole has been indoctrinated into the anti-gun camp. If we all shut up and say nothing, nothing changes. If we all speak up and say "Yes, we own guns, and we care about safety", it's harder for doctors to ignore the statistics: that child gun accidents are an extreme rarity and responsible gun ownership isn't a statistically significant factor in child safety. That doesn't mean you have to give a detailed analysis of every minor safety measure to doc, but at least give him something short and truthful: Yes, we're a gun-owning household, and yes, we take care to ensure the environment is safe for children. Maybe if you know the doc well (and you should know your childrens' doc well) and you know he's not a crazy anti-gun nut, you might even discuss the details in depth with him and learn something you didn't know that might help you to be safer. That is their ultimate goal, even if they're sometimes misguided in accomplishing it: to make children's lives safer.

But where does one draw the line? If we say it's acceptable for doctors to drill us with questions regarding private gun ownership and storage etc. under the guise of concern for child safety, next they'll be grilling us about owning sports cars. You actually go to track days and/or autocross events? Details please. Or maybe a better example would involve questions about our sex lives. Can you imagine being drilled by your doctor on whether you and your wife ever use restraints or whips? If so, are those safely locked away so that the children can't accidentally use them and hurt themselves? Where are they stored? Who knows the combos? How often are your sex toys taken out? Do you ever leave them unattended in the dishwasher? What about porn? Do you have a porn collection? Where is it stored? Do you ever leave adult DVDs in the DVD player? And what kind of porn do you watch? Do you watch any porn that portrays violence that your kids could stumble upon? Any midget porn? Any rape videos? What about fisting? Bestiality? Hot Carls? Do you own a Humiliator? Do you own a RealDoll? If so do you keep it locked away or does it sit at the dinner table with the rest of the family? Do you keep porn files on your computer? Is this a shared computer that your kids sometimes use? Mind bringing it in so we can run an audit of your browser history? Do you let your kids watch Michael Jackson videos or listen to his music? Etc. Etc.
