[QUOTE="pressman, post: 604069, member: 10980"] Well one thing to consider you can take high quality optics and shoot at 100 yards and less. but you can not take poor optics and make consistent shots at 500+ yards. and if you plan on shooting long range at all you will need to test your loads and the true capability of your rifle. and if you can not see the target clearly and know you are holding precisely the same spot every shot. it will be hard to tell what you need to do . bullet work? or rifle work? my moto is buy cheap by twice buy true quality and just buy once. plus. if the event that you did need to resell it which one could you get most of your money back? I have a nightforce and 3 IOR scopes. would not trade them for anything. except a S&B. Now for the fact that you stated you are getting older. well having a quality built scope might allow an accidental drop with no problems. not sure i want to be dropping some of these cheap scopes now days. just a few points to point. out. The gentlemen with the heavy 338? you do not need to carry that rifle around all day. just up the hill because you can shoot a mile in any direction. and anything under 1500 yards is not a big deal. just dial it and shoot it.
