[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2914411, member: 1951"] In all fairness, I think there is a balance point today that is different than 10 yrs ago. Today scopes are $0-$5000. Even with a $50000 custom rifle, doesn’t use a $5000 scope well. It is all about shopping for spec and paying enough that the spec works. I have a $3000 rifle with a $600 scope on it that I consider a great match. I have a $2500 rifle that required $1500 imo to balance out. I want certain $2500 optics that I won’t buy because I don’t like the reticle. If I didn’t want to turn turrets or shoot over 500 yards, there are a lot of $300-$1000 options. One thing most optics over $1000 have is serious weight. On a 6-8lb rifle meant for 300yd shots will be much nicer with a 12-18oz optic than a 28 - 35oz optic. [/QUOTE]
