When I went to Jager School, in Germany, my instructor said if my rifle cost $500.00 then spend $1,500.00 on optics. That rule still applies. A great gun with cheap optics is a waste of accuracy. Save your money and buy quality glass. Remember the low light shot you had at that huge buck.......... you couldn't see the target well so no buck! There is no ONE scope that does it all. Use determines choice. Good Luck, I know that rifle most likely cost more that $300.00, eh?
