[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 581698, member: 20522"] You are absolutely right scopes are very coplicated and precise instruments. One should always buy the piece of gear that does the job right , but We all need to diferentiate the meaning of the words cheap and inexpensive. From what ive observed there are alot of people comparing cost like some guys compare caliber, see my rimfire discrimination post for more on that. Ive been Guilty of what i am trying to change, I was going to drop $500 on a scope When a "Cheap" Tasco was recommended, it is just as good and better than most of the scopes i looked at costing 4-5 times as much, the tasco i got on sale for around $70 had all the features and a few more nice touches the nikons and bushnells ziess and even the lower end leupolds didnt have. I had a mishap with my scope I dropped the upper while cleaning and it landed scope down of course, but fortunatly a nice soft .50 cal ammo can was there to soften the landing, Still held a perfect zero just a few nicks on the finish, 3 guys at my range have shown up with either the same 2.5-10x42 or is big brither a 6-24x50 both mil dots both have the option for a rheostat red/green and the 50mm comes with flip up covers and rings ( maybe iffy) and both are less than $100 shipped, when people sell there nikon prostaff and buy a new scope that they feel is bettter and still have enugh change from the sale for a few boxes of ammo its a good deal. Low Cost isnt always a sign of low quality there is a magical 20% or so of stuff out there that is cheap to buy but quality to own, take some time dont buy somthing because its a name and its expensive, explore all the options and you will get more for your money. Out of all the scopes i was looking at the tasco 2.5-10x42 was the best fit i wanted a mil dot scope that has a low power minimum and the scince most mil dot formulas work off of a 10x scope its handy, /i can focus on something 5 feet in front of me or 600yds away, very versitile. thanks for reading and putting up with my rambling :D [/QUOTE]
