Optics

Agree with you , but I've have the two you mentioned, and never have failed me yet, always track perfect, shoot out to 700 which is a little far for making a clean kill I think, and if you want to spent thousands go for it, but if you have 7-12 guns you use and shoot , spending $50,000 for scopes to use on them is a little much don't you think. ?

I agree. Back when I was younger and life was simple I used a tikka t3 in 270 wsm with a bushnell elite 2.5-10 and man did I stack up the game. My biggest trophy's fell to that set up.
Run what you can afford and enjoy your time out there whether it's at the range or in the bush.

Yes, I've heard. I may have even seen some results from some of that testing. I wish the testing was done by 3rd party testing labs to get accurate, unbiased results over a significant sized test group.

Have you seen the tests? I do take the results somewhat with a grain of salt but he is very methodical and repeatable in the way the tests are done and if the scope loses zero or fails to track properly or return to zero; larger sample sizes aren't going to make that get any better.

Not always the Equipment, But always the Operator!

I've killed truckloads of animals back when I couldn't afford quality optics. I've had many Tasco, Simmons and Bushnell scopes over the years, but that doesn't mean they are a quality optic.

If you are a deer stand hunter looking over a feeder or food plot, you probably don't need a higher quality scope. But when you are hunting and shooting at long distance, in varies terrain and varied lighting conditions, you do.
