The Scopes Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes and commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was an American legal case in July 1925 in which a substitute high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. The trial was deliberately staged in order to attract publicity to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, where it was held. Scopes was unsure whether he had ever actually taught evolution, but he purposely incriminated himself so that the case could have a defendant.
Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 ($1395 in 2017), but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. The trial served its purpose of drawing intense national publicity, as national reporters flocked to Dayton to cover the big-name lawyers who had agreed to represent each side. William Jennings Bryan, three-time presidential candidate, argued for the prosecution, while Clarence Darrow, the famed defense attorney, spoke for Scopes. The trial publicized the Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy, which set Modernists, who said evolution was not inconsistent with religion, against Fundamentalists, who said the word of God as revealed in the Bible took priority over all human knowledge. The case was thus seen as both a theological contest and a trial on whether "modern science" should be taught in schools.

looking for a decent scope for a .223 bolt action rifle what’s out there for $250 or less? Looking to shoot between 250-300 yards maybe more if I find a good spot with the range. Also what would be better 1st or 2nd focalplane
Well we started derailing the post what you bought today thread after talking about the ACSS Raptor scope I got in today from Primary Arms.
So figured we should probably move this to an appropriate spot.

The Gamo Swarm thread got me to thinking again about setting up my Ruger Airhawk with a scope. The scope that came with the gun is of low quality, but worse the mounts are complete bubblegum. They simply will not stay in place. I don't want to spend a ton on a scope and mounts, but do want...
