[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 682693, member: 28854"] I fully understand that not all people can go with top of the line equipment, but putting that 22 scope on a Rum is about as silly as anything I've ever heard of in 60 years of hunting/shooting! Sorry, but that's as polite as I can be on the subject. To answer your question, yes, I have one inexpensive Tasco World Class 3x9x 50mm on a sporterized 03A3 Springfield 30-06 that doesn't get a 1/2 dozen rounds through it a year. It was purchased over 20 years ago when they were making fairly decent stuff and it's only used up at my northern MI property. All of my Rugers, Sakos, and pre 64 Model 70s from .243 caliber up through 30-06 that I have in my safes and that are used on a regular basis for big game hunting are topped with Leupolds. I'm not into the belted magnums as I see no reason for them in what I do and hunt. Any piece of equipment can fail, and that's why I like Leupolds and their guarantee, but have never needed it.
