1) Transition lenses in my glasses are miserable when getting into the blind before sunrise.........it just doesnt "appear" to get very light
2) My eyes are NOT good enough to shoot open sights on living critters anymore
3)174 gr softpoints in a 7.5X 55 are rediculously damaging...............and NOT in a good way.
Now, take away the transitions so I can SEE clearly, add a scope so I can "pick my spot" and the "problem"with the 174sp's might just take care of itsself
