[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3842921, member: 35036"] I’ve heard the same many times, but I don’t see the point (in my current financial situation) for two reasons: 1: for a sub 600 yard hunting rifle worth $900ish I don’t see the point in spending $2k on a traditional scope. 2: I can tell a big difference between bargain scopes and ones at the $500-700 price point, and can tell a slight difference between those and the $1k, but really can’t tell a difference between $1k and $2k+ glass, definitely not $1k plus worth of difference. Esp when on a budget. If I had the cash floating around, I would just buy a Nightforce/MK6/8 leupold/high end Swarovski/Schmidt and bender setup and have a sweet forever scope. I would love to do that, but at the moment it isn’t financially feasible. There are exceptions, for example, I think that the trijicon RCOs are a fantastic investment regardless of the platform, but they’re kind of a unique item in a class of their own. [/QUOTE]
