Seldom, I'd love to make you an offer YOU can live with, but unfortunately I wouldn't live long with it.

There'd be no

The damn thing sucked, that's why I traded it

.No matter what scope I used or what load or what caliber,in 2 of the 4 barrels I had and shot [2 went unshot], none would zero worth a crap.Maybe I got a lemon,but the 22-250 and the 308 would not zero more than 8 inches at 100 yards.I know others who own them who could only get 3 inch groups out of there's.I have fooled with it all summer,and I got sick of it.They are nothing more than a glorified POS IMHO.I have never had that much trouble from a rifle and never shot such terrible groups.There was something wrong with the gun,but I have no idea what.I traded it,I'm glad I got rid of it,and I'll never buy another Thompson product as long as I live.

Hope you like it ?,and that's not why I sold it.It was an extra scope off my 45-70,which I traded as part of a trade for a Bushmaster varminter,which shoots like a dream,the way a real rifle is supposed to

.Now I have to buy four more rifles,darn-it
