[QUOTE="kac1345, post: 20337, member: 2172"] Well lets see.. I can remember a buddy of mine who bought a new M70 300 wby mag ...and went cheap on the scope, it was a simmons of some sort supposed to be at the upper end of simmonns offerings at the time...within 20 round the insides fell apart ..so he figured he got a bad one maybe he did? but, anyways the store gave him a new one so we headed out to his homebuilt range and started sighting it back in @ 100 yds it worked ok but we could not get the rifle to group too good..which we new it wasn't the rifle or ammo because it just shot great a few days before ...so I had a old dinosour Leopold 3x9 one of the first ones ,,,,took it off my rifle threw it on his bam back to shooting small groups again. Don't let the name of scopes play with your mind ..there is one rule and it's a strong one!! and it was mentioned in the post above in a rounda bout way! you get what you PAY for. and the one probably more imprortant than that if your a serious shooter your glass on your rifle will cost sometimes more than the rifle itslf! you just have to ask yourself how serious of a shooter you want to be. Don't get me wrong big dollar scopes are not for everybody thats why there are so many offerings...and you may get lucky and have great luck with a cheap scope...but ALWAYS!! in the long run when comes to glass you get what you pay for.
