[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 380455, member: 12443"] im 75 years old and have been hunting long range exclusivly in the steep mountains of n.c. pa. for about 40 years. you dont have a problem unless you think you do, or worse allow somebody else make you think that. some of us drive to work in a b.m.w. and some of us make it there somehow in a used chevy. thats not knocking the beemer, but you get my point. last fall i thought i was having a problem with one of my 12x leupolds. i hurredly went to a store and bought a new 4/16 nikon, 50mm side focus. $485 in a store mind you. i also bought new rings for it and mounted it on a 20# 30x378. what a great scope, and at a very good price. since then ive bought another 12x leupold on ebay. looks like new, no ring marks, target knobs and a.o. for $315. i now have 3 of those, so ask me how i like them. by all means put the knobs on the 3.5x10 for less than $200. if somebody wants to spend a thousand, or several thousand dollars for a better scope thats fine. but the fact is there are quite a few very good ones for far less. especially if your willing as i am to buy used. remember this, just 20 years ago nobody ever even heard of some of the products many now think absolutly necessary to have. scopes are one of them. there have been very successful long range hunters for a helluva lot longer than that.
