DM, I just that very thing. With ammo prices going through the roof, I decided tosell several rifles & a handgunand get down to tworifles with quality glass.

I narrowed it down to:
- Remington 700 SS Mountain Rifle in .243 with a Zeiss Conquest 4.5 - 14 X 44mm
- Remington 700 SS SPS in.300 WSM with a Zeiss Conquest 4.5 - 14 X 44mm

I still have aMarlin 336C, Ruger 10/22, and a couple youth model rifles for my boys (with cheaper scopes). But I've really come to appreciate quality glass, especially in the last 5 minutes of shooting light.

My boys shoot youth models with the cheaper scopes. I will get them quality glass when they get their first full size rifle.
