The Addiction…

You just have to learn how to protect yourself from yourself. I don’t lay around swiping through airgun videos. When I get emails about sales, my thumb doesn’t open them, it touches the trash can instead. When I actually need something, then I shop for it. Years ago I just had to break the chains of marketing, other guys or hype telling me what I need. I still have way too much stuff but it could be worse.
 
Which Veyron? I had a 3x12x44 for a minute that I acquired in a trade. Was amazed at the clarity & brightness of the glass & really liked the reticle & CRISP clicking. Wasn't the right fit for the gun I wanted to use it on so I sold it.
@Gerry52 Got the 4-16x44 FFP IR Veyron. The 3-12x44 FFP non-IRs are good to go. I think they’re more compact. Haven’t put them side by side yet. What did you put yours on?

I tried it on my Boss which has a Sidewinder 6x24x56. Thought maybe I could lighten the load, so to speak, but it was too compact to position it for comfortable eye relief AND clear my magazine height at the same time, even with high rings. I should have kept it but at least someone is happy using it.
 
So I’m seriously looking at a Cayden and a Dragon Claw. I put up an thread months ago about adding a .22 to my stable and the Cayden seemed like a good mid-tier rifle. I also like big bores and have had my eye on the Claw a couple years. Since I’ve gotten into arrow shooting I’m really considering it and it’s on sale for about $150 off. I’m just not enthusiastic about the price of .50 slugs. I’m loosely flirting with the Veteran. Not really necessary, more like a curiosity.
Buy the Cayden in the classifieds. It’s such a good deal at 600 with a nearly 500 dollar scope sitting on it.
 
Well, let’s see…..past …..10 days…..Arken scope, rings, accessories, 10 tins of .25 pellets, 350 ea. a replacement digital gauge, my HUMA order came in today, over sized cocking handles for my Mavericks, heavier springs, hammer sets, probes. Scope leveling kit, tank cozies, Trigger Cam. I’m fine really I am, I can quit whenever I WANT. o_O
