+1 fine piece of advise. Don't be afraid to put a good scope on a cheap rifle.
1. Never offer to help your buddy gut his deer if you know he shot it thru the guts.
2. Never try to skin a deer with two guys both operating knives.
3. Never lay down in a sand burr patch to make a long shot.
4. Never sneak up on your deer from 2 miles away only to make a little too much noise 10 yards from where you think you want to take your shot.
