[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1771864, member: 102867"] That is an old kind of rule of thumb based on FACTORY rifles that cost $500-$1000 when tier one glass cost $1000 to $1500. With tier one glass now costing $3000-$5000, the new rule might be to put the very best glass you can afford for the rifle and purpose. If you are buying a mountain rifle then you are not looking for a heavy NF ATACR 7-35-56. You are likely looking for the best glass - reticle and weight for your purposes. It probably holds that if you spend $3k on a rifle you should put $2500-$3500 in glass on it. However, with OEM rifles rising in price, good glass can be had for 1/2-1 times the rifle price. The only rule that really applies is just buy the best glass you can afford. [/QUOTE]
