Yeah, the furniture is hideous, but it does put you into a good, ergonomic shooting position. I can appreciate that much about it, even if it's hard to look at.
At only 7x you shouldn't have much distortion to deal with at all. Rimfire scopes parallax is usually set at 50 yards, and centerfire at 100. I suppose for super serious target shooters it might matter a little.
I'm still kcking myself for not jumping on the 2015 black friday PSA deal on AR10 uppers and lowers. I remember @NWS got in on it...then traded it. l0l
I'm mentally planning too darned many projects right now, and the least any of them will cost me is $1200. lol....I'm just going to sit out for a bit too...probably until after SHOT.
That's either a terrible pic, or they don't know how to grade a pistol, but that looks like it has a lot more than 80-90% of it's original finish remaining.
