[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1202736, member: 30902"] Some of the best advice I was ever give is to always be willing to spend as much on the scope as you did the rifle. There's absolutely no sense in putting a great rifle together and then hanging cheap, second or third rate glass on it. You can never realize the rifles full potential without a quality optic and you'll have nothing but trouble down the road if you try to do it on the cheap. Figure out the absolute max you can afford to spend on a scope and then save another 30% before you go looking. Never be afraid of buying a quality used scope either if it has a lifetime manufacturers warranty even if you get it and it has a problem send it off and it will be right as rain when you get it back. The above is why I'm so loyal to both Leupold and IOR Valdada. Rarely have I had a problem with either and very quick turnaround time when I do. I sent one of my IOR's in for a service issue on a Monday, and had a brand new scope returned on Friday. Leupold has been just as good to me. Those two brands have also been the most dependable I've ever used without any trouble in most of them ever and the few that I did have, they were used scopes I bought knowing I'd have to send them in. Both of them still recognize that nothing is more important than building good scopes except servicing them. [/QUOTE]
