Guys, I've built my own scopes and whilst I'm reasonably practical, I've never been good enough to build anything near the pleasure that I get out of one bought which does the job properly!

More so, I have spent endless hours stuffing around replacing things and ending up spending far more than I would have on a propper scope.

I know some people derive great pleasure from ATMing, and some to the extent that the design is much more important than the view itself. And good luck to them - the design of my own scope came from the ATM community not the pros, so I owe a massive debt of gratitude to all those that stuffed up before me, who wasted time and money by having a go.

Be selfish, go buy one!
