After reviewing many posts on scopes, and listening to people brag over the years about quality optics, I challenge anyone to PROVE that high dollar scopes (except MAYBE in SERIOUS competition/life-or-death shooting) can make ANY difference in hunting in LEGAL SHOOTING LIGHT, than decent scopes in the 200.00 range!
I've heard people brag that their optics cost "twice as much as their guns!" But, you can see it any day, whether it be a baseball bat in the batters box, golf clubs off the tee box, or guns, 99% of these people CANNOT play up to their equipment!
I've said it before, I am "thrifty" to say the least!
My theory is that a decent gun, with a DECENT +/- 200.00 scope will make any LEGAL shot that a combo costing 10 times that much will make! PROVE that theory wrong!
