davehawkins Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Welcome to the forum. That's the same scope I started with you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charic Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That will be a nice scope once you have become acquainted and mastered the setup. I chose the 200P Skyliner, far less to setup, but our views won't be too dissimilar. Enjoy the new scope and welcome to the SGL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
