[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 332106, member: 10106"] You're right. I never felt the need to spend $1,000+ on a scope, but neither would I top an expensive custom rig with a $100 scope. My IOR pricewise isn't in the same league with Nightforce or other top line, tactical models, but it ain't cheap either (for those wondering, it cost me $700 with the rifle). If a rifle won't shoot well, swapping scopes (if you have a good one on another rifle or laying around) is one of the first things I'd suggest. So many things to check (bedding, scope mounts, crown, barrel tension, etc.) that it's nice to be able to at least first rule out the scope. As I hinted at in my first post: I value my rifles more than my scopes. Then again, none of my rifles wears a scope that cost more than the gun. Hope I never reach a point where I have to sell rifles to come up with cash. I have some old scopes I'd be willing to sell, but they sure as heck wouldn't bring me very much (anybody want an old Bushnell Banner or Simmons 8-Point?). [/QUOTE]
