Less expensive rifles nearly always shoot well enough to get the job done. On the rigors of a tough hunt, cheap scopes do not necessarily always do that.
I have always stayed in the mid range on scopes and rifles and I have never had either one quit me on tough hunts. I will not spend thousands on a rifle, nor a scope. I have become a real fan of the SWFA scopes.
The only scopes that have actually failed me (aside from factory defects out of the box) have been the cheap Simmons scopes and Chinese Tascos. I just don't trust the reliability of a cheap scope.
And yes, I do own a Ruger American that has had over 900 rounds through it. It shoots 1/2 moa with its SS 6x aboard.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
