You raise some valid points, but theres a counter arguement that people often dont bring up: that is the difference between flight range and stop and stare range for a deer. Ive only shoot five deer with my bow, 3 at under 35 (close range) and two at 50+. I also have cleanly missed 2 deer at 50+ and im not fessying up to how many ive punched arrows over at close range. Anyhow, every single animal ive ever shot at in the 50+ range just stood there staring at me and watching that arrow come with a bewildered look on their faces. At least half the animals ive shot at close range have string jumped or flinched, bolted, whatever you want to call it. I think once you get past the 40-50 yard range youre far enough away that they dont feel immediately threatened and will wait to see what happens. My second deer was take. With an 80 yard shot. He stood there and watched me take off my back pack, nock an arrow, range him, draw aim and shoot. Never moved until the arrow hit him. Thats just my limited experience though. Over the years I have seen this exact same pattern with deer.

I have the Viper PST 6x24x50 and absolutely love it. It's the best scope I've ever owned. It does not have capped turrets but the elevation turret does have a zero stop so it would be quick to re zero it if it was bumped. For the price it is very comparable to the higher end scopes, as I was going to purchase a nightforce . It does have the best warranty but I have never had to use it, maybe that's what some people confuse it when they say they have the best warranty because it's no questions asked. I only know 1 person who has had to send theirs back and it's because he over tighten the rings and bent the tube, but he received a brand new viper pst question asked. It was hard to watch my wife fall on here nikon scope on her javi hunt and couldn't help but think I wish it had a vortex on it. It is currently getting replaced with a vortex for that reason and an upgrade as well. Good luck on your decision. I hope all the info you have received from all members has helped.

It does hurt to use wd-40 to help remove solvents and wipe then wipe with oil again as well to help get rid of left over stuff.

I'll pm you.

Can I just be your friend then?

How long is the barrel?

Wow a true albino javi, awesome! !! +1 did u get it mounted yet.

Nice dead head with a cool hooked eye guard.

Wow! Nice

Awesome all 3 of my kids have all started shooting at approximately 3 years old as well and they love it. Only one more year and I can take my 9 year old on his first hunt. Way to start them young.

Wow, that's a cool find.

I know this is a little late in the game, but what did your guy's bulls score?

Wow really nice looking bear and great work by Jim as usual.
