Here is how I outfitted mine with a scope

Anchorage...Elmendorf AFB family housing: Folks learned to stay away and just watch. The moose loved munching on the green grass that was growing in early spring due to the underground steam lines.

mia_scoutguy said: Where and how much. Sorry but the where is long lost in the mists of time, however, the how much is recorded in my records as $165 plus shipping two ways from the West coast to somewhere in the USofA. Given how long ago it was done, I suspect the cost will have increased...
