Hey folks...new here, and new to the sport. Having a limited budget (married w/ infant), I'm using my dad's "leftovers" that were collecting dust (he hunts with his trusty Winchester .270). So I have two guns, and have heard some positive and negative reviews on each. Are they worth putting some money into to ensure they last a few years? They're both in terrific shape, so my goal is to just spend some short money on new scopes in lieu of new guns. Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
