[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 678437, member: 19778"] I know what you mean, quality costs. my Leupold's cost more than my $70 Simmons scope, but work much better more clear etc. I'm more a hunter than a target shooter, so 1/2 inch groups to 3/4 inch groups can be had with $1500 guns, those $4000 guns that shoot 1/4 inch groups are fine, but worthless for hunting for the money, unless you are strong enough to carry a 400 lb benchrest around with you, it is not going to make any differance from a 1 inch moa gun to a 1/8 inch moa gun in the field hunting, unless your out west and can shoot prone, most of us have to use shooting stix,or tripods while out hunting from a sitting position. When we set up and shoot crows from the shooting range, it seems easy, but from a heavy sturdy bench rest, it is. Out in the field, steady aim at 100-200 yards is a challenge on a crow sized target, and that $4000 1/8 moa gun is no better than the $1700 3/4 moa gun,. I'm not putting down those guns, just that if I'm going to put money into a gun for long range, and 1/4 moa might as well be a bolt. That being said, I'm looking into having a 260 rem AR built.
