Compact Rifle Scopes were the first kind I bought for my .257 Roberts this rifle is a Ruger model 77 and just about the most fun gun to shoot. The idea of the compact rifle scope was for me just a convenience to carry it did not snag on everything and just is a light scope that is just as accurate as any I have. I owned this scope in a Bushnell scope Chief and it was one of the first gun scope set ups I had ever purchased new. This was a very tough scope and lasted through some of the roughest hunts I have ever done.

I think it bounced around in more Fords than enough and I can remember forgetting it in the gun boot and going through a game check. The compact saved me a big fine that day because it was when I was young and had left it in the truck by mistake but the compact rifle scope fit into the gun boot below the bench seat and out of site and had slid all the way to the right and was almost impossible to see at a glance. I got away with it that day because I was telling the truth when I went through and stated I was not hunting and had not brought the rifle with me. At least I thought I was but when I went to find my gun I was scared it was stolen because it took a bit to find it . I still think back to that and laugh about it now and then. I had no spare cash in those days and a fine would have taken me a year to get paid. I also dropped the gun and scope of the Skidoo and bent the scope down and had to straighten it out and did so with out wreaking the scope. That day I thought It was the end for the Compact Rifle Scope.

I still shot quite a few deer with the .257 after that. I also shot a moose with it but that was really pushing the caliber to get the power to do the job. I hit the bull five shots and I never found a broken bone on that animal when I dressed it out I still think I scared him to death that morning when I broke the silence with the first shot at the crack of dawn. The bull had just stepped onto the clearing and was only about eighty yards away in a spot I could drive to and I wanted him to stay there. Anyone who has packed a moose any distance knows the value of anchoring the animal in a spot that is accessible with a vehicle. The amount of times I have had to cut roads to get a moose out is just to much. I do not think the forestry service would let you get away with that nowadays. That and the trucks would not do that kind of work now my old truck took a hell of a ride back then with the Compact Rifle Scopes .MOre info on compact Rifle Scopes
