I have no affiliation with this at all. I just wanted to pass this on to all the smart guys here. I believe it says write 1,000 words on how you modified something you bought to make it better, and the best one wins this scope. Check the rules, etc. As I said, I have no skin in this game other than, if a scope like this is being awarded, it might as well go to someone over here.
Best of luck.
