Ruger Mk IV Competition Model, Vortex Scope

The Ruger Mk IV Competion model now has a scope.  I have leaned heavily on Bushnell scopes for many years, but two fell apart inside this year, and Bushnell's repair line does not answer.  I have read discouraging reports from others online, so I looked elsewhere. Optics Planet had this Vortex 1-4 X scope in FDE at half price, and that was too good to pass up. I installed it yesterday and sighted in with Mini-Mags at 50 feet. I checked it with Velocitors and it is really close.  According to Ballistics By The Inch, Velocitors from the 7 inch barrel are going faster than Mini-Mags from an 18 inch barrel, so those should be good for varmints around the dog yard.

Nice setup.
I am relying more and more on optical aids for my eyesight.
