Is a $80.0 scope a cheapo? I know it is alot cheaper than alot of them that I was looking at.
Its sad to say, but yes. An $80 scope is a cheapo, and 90% of the time they will fail on a rifle such as a 30-06. The cheapest good quality scope I have found is a Swift. You can usually get a 3-9x40 for around 100-115 dollars, and they will handle it.
If you can, I would take that scope back and upgrade to a Swift, Nikon, Leupold.....
i have a Swift on a Weatherby .300 Magnum with no issues. been shooting this set up for years.
