Funny Story,

Not battery related but linked to Desperado's last comment.

Twelve years ago I was selling a used 1.5 x 4 Bushnell riflescope to my hunting partner for $50.00. The scope was in great shape, I left it on the kitchen table at home, my partner was to pick it up while I was at work and leave me the cash.

My partner called me at work and said that the scope was broken, I said "no way" it was fine this morning!

I get home to find that my then 3 year old son had found the scope and thought it was a flashlight. When it would not "turn on" he screwed the eyepiece off and stuck his fingers or something small into the tube, breaking the reticule crosshairs! My wife found the eyepiece/tube on the floor, put them back together and put the scope back on the table for my friend.

I wrote a note to Bushnell with the story hoping they could fix the scope but I got a reply saying "Sorry, scope was out of production and warranty"

Sorry to hijack your thread for a moment Kris, but these are the things you have to look forward to (x 2)!

I would not trade it for anything.
