MOTM

I bought one of those "light comes on but I have no way of testing it
further" deals on ebay for 21$ and 5$ shipping, and miracle of
miracles it worked! And still does! And my wife never complains about
the price of 300's, but asked about the scope, and I was able to show
her it cost 21$, and she was impressed, I think. Or it might have been
her "what the heck is that" look, it's sometimes hard to tell.
