[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7481868, member: 6880599"] I didn't think of any combinations that really mattered in that regard, but you could always preface a build with the situation as you did. Then if someone has a different idea of the scope they can preface it as well and not be "wrong" as long as their build works. With that in mind...
