What is a gun bearer?
I am not putting down scopes because of name or price. I specifically gave reasons. You did not.
Anybody that would be dumb enough to buy a Vx1 deserves to get crap. You bought it for name. Didn't you?
For the guy who sets his scope to 100-200 yards and goes out 5 days a year, anything will work, even your POS buckmasters. Even open sights. But if you want to use the target turrets of a scope, you have to count on accurate recticle adjustment.
The original poster didn't ask what is the best for my budget. They didn't ask, what could I get by with in Oregon.
Why do so many people take it so personally? Buy what you want. I am an optics engineer. I appreciate good optics. I appreciate good coatings. If someone was a gun engineer, wouldn't they appreciate top notch machining?
