[QUOTE="southpa, post: 2962096, member: 65823"] I was once told, what sits on top of your rifle is more important than the rifle... Since this is a long range hunting forum, I'm curious if you've compared a $200 Simmons scope to a "quality" scope in low light, direct light (shooting into sun), tracking, above 90 degrees ambient and below 0 degrees, and at all ranges from 200-1200 yards? How bout the performance of these said scopes year in and year out? I can tell you with certainty, any newer scope over $200 can not and has not proved to even compete. I would be bumping the $200 estimate up about $1000 and maybe it's a more reasonable debate. Even then personal experience tells not. [/QUOTE]
