The GG is the only good variable magnification one but doesn ' t have trades . The eye relief is the best out of any of the clones I ' ve seen ? It also has the same problem as the real elcan in that the mount isn ' t very adjustable for off spec rails . <| sep |> As an owner of two cats living in a sub $ 1000 unit , it ' s definitely the exception though . I looked in July briefly and did much the same as you . Sure , some people that say ' no pets ' will take pets , but a lot of those places are shit holes and the majority still wont take pets because there is so many potential tenants lining up for places because of the crazy low vacancy . I wouldn ' t trade my pets for anything , but the reality is if you rent you ' re looking at having a much more expensive andor difficult time to find a new place .
