no kidding....people ask what a good scope is and everyone starts throwing out top tier optics in the 3500 to 4000 dollar range...like someone that doesn't know which scope to buy in the first place can appreciate a top tier scope....You know what I laugh at? A guy who spent 10 years of owning 30 custom rifles, and can't get Sub MOA out of a basic $350 modern accuracy engineered factory rifle to take a basic 400 yard and under shot to seal the deal. Not uber 338 Super Sniper long range, basic 400 yards and under hunting!
But keep on buying high end gear Mr. 338 Sniper. The equipment doesn't make the man. With my basic beater $1000 rig, it always fills the freezer. Those aren't even my Tikka's BTW. We are talking a Savage Axis stainless and Nikon! Sub MOA and I redo trigger, stock, everything. Some of us take pride in actual work and ability.
Go ahead and hump a 10 -12lb AR10 rig in the mountains when you can just carry a 7.5 lb bolt rig and give you more FPS, handles rust and bad weather a lot better.
Sure, Tikka's, Ruger, Remington, Thompson, Savage, Kimber, Winchester, factory rifles are not accurate or good. They are Sub MOA with hand loads for everyone else, but not for you man. Ha.... I laugh too man.
few people seem to be able to max out factory affordable rigs and they think dumping 10 grand will fix it...it wont...I cant outshoot any gun I have, when I can...maybe ill upgrade..
