[QUOTE="ATH, post: 145676, member: 1656"] You don't need a custom and a $2000 scope to be reliable and accurate. There are some very good factory rifles out there and good scopes in the $400-500 range that WILL track well and fit the bill. Custom jobs and S&B scopes are nice, but the incremental quality increase for the price is out of proportion. I buy the best equipment I can, but I shoot a $600 Sendero with a $800 scope/mount. I could have cut the price of the scope in half and still been satisfied (Nikon Buckmaster vs Tactical) and hit the $1000 target. I've wrung the gun out to 800 yds and was more than happy with the result, especially considering my 600yd self-imposed range limit on elk. [/QUOTE]
