You should buy a scope of equal value to the gun or up to twice the price. Good optics will give you that last shot at the last minute. It blows my mind to see a 700 dollar rifle with an 80 dollar scope. When you think of the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars you invest in making ONE shot to connect on a hunt, be it elk, moose or a hog. Optics are MORE important than caliber, grain of bullet, or how pretty the damn wood is.


Buy a GOOD scope.
