Default RE: scope

Many years ago, a friend bought a rifle from Cabela's and it came with a Pine Ridge Scope. After he tried what he felt should work, he came to my house and wanted to see why his load would not shoot straight. I shot about five shots and suspected the scope to be no good. So I pulled the Pine Ridge Scope and shot with his open sights. It was not the rifle that had the problem. I had a cheap Bushnell in the house, so I mounted that on his rifle and he shot a 1-1/2 group at 50 yards with it before he left. He sent the scope back in and got me another Bushnell.

Now I am not saying all Pine Ridge scopes are bad. I have heard of others that got Pine Ridge scopes and had great luck with them. And I once got a Bushnell Banner in and it would not sight it. So perhaps there is a chance with the cheaper end scopes you can get a bad one. I guess that happens. I have not owned a Cabela's but I heard they were made in China. (which is not the end of the world either)
