No I am willing to spend up to a thousand on the scope, not saying that I will, butI have no problem doing so. I don't have the money burning a whole in my pocket so i am not going to rush out and spend a grand for no reason if i like a 600 dollar scope.

They way i see it, this is my dream rifle, close to 2 grand just on the rifle, i am not going to skimp out on the scope now when i don't need one for a few months, I am no hurry to rush off and grab a cheap scope that won't properly finish my rifle.

Def between the leupold custom, I like the idea of my scope being unique. And the other main leader at the time is something in the zeiss line.

Magnification still is up in the air, i really like the 4.5-14-50, but scout makes some good points about the smaller magnification scopes. I will have to check this out in person.
