Yo, Irene---

I don't remember the name of the guy who was at last summer's
picnic who had the medium priced scope..had a nice side sight
that located the *target* nicely so when you looked through
the regular eye piece it was right on the bird..I recall thinking
it was reasonably priced..and worked really well.

do you happen to know who it was?

perhaps the culprit himself is on line and can respond to
to this request..
