passifist-exactly how much experience do YOU HAVE FIRSTHAND with well built quality scopes? NOT what friends have but YOU. Compare them and you too will then be on the "have a decent quality scope" bandwagon as I am.

I think for many hunters the name on the product is directly proportional to the ego boost. I have a few friends who play "the name game" and spend high dollars on products but HAVE NEVER harvested a thing. Many of us good ole boys on the other hand, on blue collar budgets and Jack Daniels tastes have harvested a many a animal. And my Simmons 3x9 sitting atop my Winchester model 70 has pulled in a fair share and never let me down. Leupold and all those fancy names might impress, but they don't guarantee squat.
