To be clear I wasnt dinging union wages and probably could have worded it clearer. BTW I hope Colt does not leave. It's one of the last few things in CT to be proud of.
I now have a Bobro Bipod and Bobro Scope Mount and I really feel Andrew Bobro has developed the most brilliant QD locking system to date. I will post detailed pictures soon.
I have an old cheap Bushnell spotting scope. I know it cost less then $100 in the early 90's. It's ok at low magnifications but unuseable as you start to increase magnification. Whats a good bang for the buck spotting scope these days?
