D'oh!
hahaha And I guess with the dobs you'd have to get a mount for it anyway? Unless of course you like laying down on the ground?

I'd love to but unfortunately I really can't stretch it to $350. I was looking around the $200 mark. I know it's not gonna be a superpowered scope, but I just wanted to give him something to get started. Then of course in a years time or few more he can look into what he really wants (needs?!) and get it.
