The only reason to buy a high end scope is if you have a seriously accurate high end gun to wear it.<br /><br />Or...that's the way it USED to be. I'm an old fart. Today...there are some really, really good optics out there and they don't cost an arm and a leg. Since you wouldn't put a Nightforce on a chit house deer rifle...anything by Leupold, Nikon, Burris, etc etc - will do well. 500~700 bucks will basically get you a scope that will last the casual hunter a lifetime.<br /><br />If you are gonna spend some serious time on the range they may even cover that...but I step up to Swarovski and Zeiss for my target guns. And - Trijicon is making some stellar scopes these days. If ya got the cash, that is probably the best mass produced scope out there right now. Just my two bits, your mileage may vary...Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.com
