Well the scope I won in the auction lasted me 3 days. Took it to rural king to find a set of rings and when I turned my back someone stole it out of my cart. Don't ask but it's gone.
Anyway. Needle in a haystack. Would anyone have a simmons 1.5-5x20 with the diamond plex they'd part with? I'd also be interested in a leupold with the turkey plex, not the new pig plex with the moa duplex. I know it's a long shot.

What a bummer…
I think the scope you’re looking for is hard to come by.
I’ve got a Simmons 2X ProDiamond and it’s no longer made.

For a cool twist, I had our fellow member Bullseye69, thread a 12ga slug barrel for a choke tube. It's awesome to have an 18" barrel with iron sights for turkeys.

I'd bet good money it was an employee I'd be really peeved, and I'd have called the police if the store wouldn't help me. Someone would be looking at the video tapes pretty durn quickly.

Someone would be looking at the video tapes pretty durn quickly. I'm pretty low key person. My first thought was to blame myself for leaving it unattended and beat myself up pretty bad. Just figured that they needed it more than I did. Have a pretty low view of people anymore and guess it's just how the world is. Now if I caught them in the process then it would be a whole different situation.

Remington used to make a factory barrel like that and I'd love to find one in a 20ga 11-87. I think I found a different way to go. Hawke optics came out with a turkey scope and probably go that route. Was just giving it a couple days to see if anyone came through on my post on numerous sights.

It was your fault....how dare you tempt me like that. I just put it in a desk drawer. I just wanted to teach you a lesson for talking smack.
