Default Never Carried or Hunted With..Really?

You have to wonder about how some people make it through life.
I spotted this in a local forum classified ad. GP-100 with scope for sale. "Never carried or Hunted With" Look at the photo and you will see why I thoroughly believe that statement.

Guess he could never see the game/target in the scope and just gave up?
Lol!

And if he ever gets a clear view through that scope, I hope to heck he never pulls the trigger!

The ad has since been edited with "Scope will need to be removed and re-mounted." Seems I'm not the only one who noticed the error. Why wouldn't he fix it and take a new photo?

I didn't know that was not the way it was supposed to be. I was
under the impression it was one of thos Suicide Specials. The
Guy was honest and said he never carried or hunted with it. I
was going by the earplugs. Figured he just was afraid of Muzzel
blast when doing the deed.

I posted this on my Facebook page and actually had several men arguing with me that the scope wasn't backward because the larger end was facing the muzzle of the gun. I had to add this diagram of a similar handgun scope.

Aloha,

At least I now know how NOT to put a scope on my M27 that the previous

owner had drilled and tapped for a scope.

I got it in an estate sale, came with mount & rings.

Your Facebook friends​ are probably used to binoculars, or telescopes, on those you look into the little end.

Wonder why rifle scopes are different?

An appropriate song lyric for this particular revolver:

"...I always feel like somebody's watching me"




Regards,
