I Burned Fossil Fuel for Nothing

Here is a bummer for you. I went to Bass and got me a sling, scope rings, and a rifle bag. And it looks like the rings and sling may have to go back.

The scope I bought has a 42mm objective lens. I bought rings that were supposed to work with a lens that size. But when I put them on the rifle, the scope rested on the barrel. DOH.

I just checked the Burris page. Guess what? Burris uses bigger lenses than other makers. How they can do that while still calling it 42mm is beyond me.

Now my head hurts.

I assume they mean 42mm is bigger than the lens on a competitor’s product with the same specs. And maybe the thick barrel is the problem.

I took the sling out of the bag and noticed something funny. It only has one swivel. What the hell? The gun has two studs. Do I attach the sling to the one stud with a cable tie? I happen to have a swivel I’m not using, but I’m not totally sure the sling can be opened up and inserted in it. Guess I’ll figure it out.

They don’t even sell Eezox. It’s a weird store. In some ways, they seem almost ashamed of their shooting products. At least I enjoyed the giant saltwater aquarium. I always stand by it for a while and imagine myself killing all the fish.

I sure hope there is nothing wrong with the bag.
