[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2681742, member: 1951"] He agrees….when he is shooting my rifle. When shooting his own, he prefers the struggle, or so it seems. He just doesn’t value much additional to a basic sight picture. There are not words in the English language to explain the difference between a $300 optic and a $1400 optic. I agree. He sees it as wasting money on a maybe….like maybe it is better or maybe it is not. He also gets real hung up on a basic Tikka is $600, but a stock is like $300-$900. He struggles to understand that adding ~$600 is worth it, however a person judges that. Recoil is a factor shooting enough rounds in pre-season to improve skills. He lives near several skilled gunsmiths, but was burned pretty good by a guy on a pistol mount so he kind of feels they might take his money or fail to deliver. That guy bolted on a mount to his revolver. Charged him double for the mount and the scope was rotated in the mount. He asked the guy to fix and I think he was treated poorly enough, he brought it home as is and did it himself. [/QUOTE]
