[QUOTE="Dan Conzo, post: 15833, member: 269"] Everyone hunts differently and have different opinions, and a high price variable "shouldn't" change POI but if someone feels they are not taking this chance then nothing is wrong with that, especially of many past experiences. Some people hunt long range with a woods (sporter) rifle handy with a low power scope for close shots. The Unertl Ultra Varmint 15x and Unertl BV20 have and still take deer and hogs out to very long ranges. The old (externally adjusted) BalVAR 24 (a variable) still does also. I and others I know keep them on 24x, I shot a nice buck at 75 yards with it on 24x-didn't bother grabbing a sporter. Some of us still use the Ultra Varmint 15x and the BV20. As far as the "old addage" you get what you pay for-years ago it might have been true with optics but today with a oriental grinding lenses in his bedroom for a couple of different companies, etc I don't believe it is. How could a person explain the Bushnell Spacemasters quality for the price compared to higher priced spotters especially with two together. Look how the Kowas compare to the high priced German stuff and the price diference. If you used a popular BR scope a few years ago you had to have two-one being fixed and the one that just got fixed for long range target shooting. The equipment lists for the matches would still have them as very plentiful, now they are redesigned-makes you wonder. Just my opinion, everyone has them. Dan [/QUOTE]
