[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 1775978, member: 39547"] I just worked up a 783 for a good buddy, after adjusting the trigger and ensuring everything was tight I removed the junk *** china made scope that came with it. The rifle would group two shots nearly touching if not touching the third shot a flier, consistently. The scope adjustments while sounding good were inconsistent, completely unpredictable, even after adjusting and tapping them to make sure they took. While I don't claim to be an expert by any means I've set-up/sighted in done load development with/for several folks and shot well over a hundred different rifles. The adjustments on this scope were some of the worst I've witnessed. I'm not saying all the scopes are lemons but it was certainly the case here, I installed a redfield revolution I had collecting dust and within 6 shots had the rifle zeroed and shooting as it should. All of the "budget" combo rifles I've worked up or shot come with the cheapest low budget glass I've seen. Even on "budget" rifles spend the extra money and get a decent piece of glass, I own a couple of nikons, one Simmons a-tec and several Leupolds of different varieties none of which cost me over $500 all of which move the appropriate distance when adjusting them, they all hold their zeros. Regardless of the rifle you choose do yourselves a favor and buy decent glass, you'll find a screaming deal or two on the forums if you watch a while. [/QUOTE]
