Talking What do you call your scope?
A thread for a bit of fun..

What name do you have for your dearly beloved piece of metal and glass?

I don't actually have a pet name for my dob.. I think it's time I came up with one..

How about you? What do you call yours?

The 12" parks is 'Homer', one of the kids stuck a Homer sticker on the base, and the name stuck as well.
I've called the gs lots of names.
