# Badge of Honor?

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/22/JPPAU5BLXG4OLN2KSS5T2E2Y7E.jpg>)

By this time, the guys at the range figure I’m an idiot. An older gentleman came up to me and politely told me to “remove that piece of #@\*\*” and put on a real scope. So I invested in a Leupold, and in all the years since the scope has never bitten me. Lesson learned.

In some ways, the crescent cut is a badge of honor, sort of like a Heidelberg dueling scar. It happens to all of us at some point. But two in a day? I heard about that for a long time. So, let’s hear from you about scopes that have bitten back.
