i ordered my rem 700 xcr yesterday the same guy had a good deal on a crossbow. so instead of getting my scope im buying the crossbow for my dad.he is disabled vietnam vet with all kinds of health problems.he taught me how to shoot and to hunt,so i felt i could wait for the scope so i could bow hunt with my dad after not being able to for 17 years.he is still an extremly good shot even thou he has to shoot left hand now because of scare tissue on his right eye.if he doesnt get one with this thing then im gonna razz him lol.
