Once I find a rifle/scope combination I like, I rarely change. I have done it a few times with no regrets. My personal scope choice failure, I bought a nice Bauch & Lomb 6-24 with a dot reticle. Hated the dot my first trip to the range. I did try it on prairie dogs. I used it on a couple dogs, had to keep the reticle moving to see it on the dog. Used other rifles for the rest of the trip. Took it off when I got home. Couple years later I had a gun to sell, and I stuck the scope on that to increase the value. I seldom sell scopes.
