That hunting combo that you have there was like my first hunting handgun back in 1989. It was a 1987 MKll with a 21/2-7x28mm Simmons mounted with a Burris no-drill mount. Killed a ton of squirrels with it. MKll wears a Weaver 2x, now...and is still a tack driver.
Also, that old Simmons scope is still alive and kicking 26yrs later and after having had a TON of heavy rounds fired under it...and it still works just like the day it was new.
Anyway, good on ya for being so proficient at killing those pests.
