[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1817384, member: 50852"] About 10 years ago I bought my wife a rifle and subsequently installed a cheapie scope on it because she "doesn't like scopes". My theory was not to spend a lot of $$ on glass if she wasn't going to use it. Well a couple years later we went to a rifle competition. It was shooting @ 300 yards. She was having a bit of trouble and my buddy looked through her scope. He said that she would be better off to knock out the glass and just look through the tube. He wasn't kidding! Well I not only got her a new Leupy, but bought her a used target rifle. She took to it like a duck to water. The next move was building a 6 PPC and putting a Night Force on it. Then I had it chambered in 6 Dasher because the shooting stretched out to 600 yards. Well she outshot me at the next competition. Moral of the story is don't buy that cheap scope. Buy once, cry once. Get the best glass you can afford. [/QUOTE]
