[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 684797, member: 30902"] You aren't proving anyone wrong, all you are proving is that there are exceptions to every rule. Occasionally one will get lucky and have a cheap scope not fly apart on a magnum rifle. Occasionally one will be unlucky and have a 2,000.00 plus scope fly apart on the first shot from a light weight non magnum caliber. Exceptions to rules however do not mean it's a wise idea to put a cheap scope on a magnum rifle because the odds are not in your favor and one can throw a hell of a lot of money and waste a tremendous amount of time buying and replacing cheap scopes vs spending good money, one time and having a great piece of glass for life. I'm not made of money either, far from it in fact, but I've learned my lessons with cheap glass over the last thirty years and as a result even if it means I'll have to put off buying one for a few extra months while I save up some extra cash it's more than worth the wait and better money spent in the long run.
