Re: [APML] A Bit Overweight?

[Rick Bell <greatorionm42@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for the input Don and Scott,

I will both check out the mapug group and the mettler
or Marsden wedges.  I know I should get something
along the lines of a G11 but can't afford both the
scope and the mount.  I also know that the mount's the
most important thing.  Unfortunately, the mount's just
plain not as much fun!  So, I'll most likely get the
scope, do what I can with that and then next year go
for the G11 or M-250.

Greatly appreciate your help.  

Thanks,

Rick
