Re: Let's Talk $100-$200 Scopes

This is an interesting conversation, and one that's long overdue in my humble opinion. The consensus on about every forum is any scope under a weeks wages will fail within it's first hunt, and an easy one at that. I'm not a wealthy guy, but have owned fairly nice rifle for several decades. Brownings, Kimbers, Christensens, Weatherbys etc and have never spent more than 300 dollars on my scopes. Usually vx1 and 2's, Freedoms, and a few Crossfire ll's and have never had a failure of any kind. Good mounts and rings, torqued properly, and 0 issues. All on 30.06 and up. 338's, 300 wm and wby and so on. Snow, rain, freezing cold. I would love to own Nightforce, high Mavens etc but I just justify it when I had perfectly reliable scopes for much less money. Cheers to those that shared their experiences. Im going to duck now, I'm sure mud slinging is coming my way. Regards

Re: New rod overload? Well, used stuff actually.

Graphite or glass, really depends on what you're doing and how you want the rod to feel. Modern glass is worlds different and better than what most guys realize.... it is also stronger and more forgiving than graphite. I fish probably 50/50 graphite and glass. They both have places in your arsenal. If looking into a new rod, the first questions you need to ask yourself are, what types of fishing am I going to be doing (small dries, terrestrials, nymphing, dry dropper rigs, streamers), what range am I going to be fishing (distance of casts), and what size fish am I going to be chasing. Pick a good quality line and match that to the proper rod.
