Default RE: Your take on scopes

It is all up to you.......... BUT

I think it's funny when people say they cannot spend that kind of money on a scope because they don't have that kind of money....... but they had that kind of money to buy the gun.... didn't they...

Actually a lot of people say you should spend AT LEAST as much on the scope as you do on the gun... and as much as 2X...

But I don't. I have yet to pay even 500.00 , much less 600.00 or 700.00 $$$ on a scope. I beleive the most I have spent on a scope was about 450.00 ( shipping and all ) for a 5-20 X 44 Nikon Monarch....

Most of my scopes run from 250 to350.00. Thecheapest was about 100.00, on one of my kids guns, and it broke within about 2 years. I have about 9 or so Nikons.... Great Glass for the $$$.
