SMH Why do the threads seem to go this way? The guy asked a question. Yes, the more $$$$ you spend the better. We all got that. But it's not feasible for everyone. I personally would rather see a guy actively hunting, enjoying the woods, with his $100 scope, than have a guy walk away from hunting because he can't drop $500 on a scope. I shot a junky scope for several years through college until I could afford a better Nikon. But it kept me in the woods, shot at least 15 deer, and gave me lots of good times. We know more $$$$ is better, but hunting isn't about $$$$. It's about enjoying the woods, enjoying the company we're with, and you can do that with a $100 scope.
