To buy, or not to buy...

[C-130 Dude]

Got a very limited time deal to get a new scope. Very nice deal. Background: I'm getting a new bang stick for Christmas (wifey said OK. Yeah, the honey-do's will be extensive.). The new scope will go on the new stick. I got a scope about 6 months ago for my other stick. Should I move the old scope between the 2 sticks as needed, or have a scope for each. Do I go for it and get the new scope while I can or do I wait and lose out on the savings and swap scopes between the 2 sticks?

Buy, swapping is overrated

 

[bultinkle]

If you can comfortably afford another scope buy one

Swapping scopes sucks

Changing scopes out, especially when in a hurry or under less than ideal circumstances, can be a pain in the patooty.
Just saying.

Depends on the Scope(s). There are some really good deals now for Veteran's Day (50% off) so a dedicated scope for each rifle is nice. On the other had if you have over a dozen rifles with limited use I suggest Swapping a few.

It depends - if I had two rifles I wouldn't want to swap. I have 5, including a ML, and I don't need a scope for all of them so I am comfortable swapping scopes for less-frequently used guns.

Yup. It is veterans day thing. Only have the upcoming bang stick with need of a new scope. Hense my issue. If it is that.

Even if you can't afford it, get another one.

A rifle without a scope is like a condom with the end cut off, useless and frustrating as hell if you need to use it....... Get the new scope.

I hate it when they do that!

Can't afford not to.
