maybe try and reduce the resolution abit, right click to edit usually around 1200x800 is plenty

I also use ' BBI image hosting ' , click on BBcode full link and then copy and paste

Bill it’s a Leupold VX 111 1x5. About the Weatherby Bill, I had it for 30 years and I got pretty crook back a few years ago, and unfortunately sold it. Absolutely loved it, then got a 500 double, had trouble with that, then got the Gibbs.
