Doncha hate losing stuff in your own home!
Years ago I bought two inexpensive red dot optics,,,
I put them on a pair of Ruger 22/45's I have.
I didn't like them on the Rugers so I took them off,,,
Then I put one on a 6" Beretta NEOS and I liked it quite a bit.
So last night I'm playing musical scopes.
I took a Leupold Rifleman off of a H&R .357 Mag Handi-Rifle,,,
So I can mount it on a Mauser es340b rifle.
I took a Bushnell Banner off of an H&R 22 Sportster,,,
And mounted it on the H&R .357 Mag Handi-Rifle.
Then I went to my parts cabinet,,,
To get the spare red-dot and mount it on the H&R 22 Sportster.
But where the second red-dot was SUPPOSED to be,,,
Is apparently not where I put the dang thing.
I have no memory of where I stashed it.
So I took the red-dot off of the Beretta NEOS,,,
And mounted it on the H&R .22 Sportster.
That H&R .22 Sportster was the first rifle I bought for myself when I got back into shooting,,,
It was only minute of soup can at 50 yards with the original iron sights,,,
That Bushnell Banner made it minute of soup can at 100 yards.
But I never liked shooting it very much after that as the scope was too high,,,
I had to use shoot-thru mounts to get the scope to clear the hammer.
I played around with the red-dot on the Sportster for a while last night,,,
I decided that this is what I should have done years ago,,,
The rifle is now quick to find the target and aim with.
So now I hafta spend some time scouring my cluttered gun room,,,
Hoping to find the missing red-dot to mount back on the Beretta NEOS.
I know the quickest way to find it,,,
Is to order a replacement.
I'm happy with the new arrangements,,,
The Leupold will mate with the Mauser very nicely,,,
The Bushnell Banner is much more appropriate for the H&R .357 Mag Handi-Rifle,,,
And I believe that I will be much happier with the red-dot mounted on the H&R .22 Sportster.
But that Beretta NEOS pistol really begs for that red-dot's return,,,
Bracing against the roof pole at my rifle/pistol club,,,
I can hit a clay pigeon at 50 yards with it.
Oh well.
Saturday the red-dot search begins,,,
Wish me luck.
