For what you want there's plenty of options. There's always somebody on a forum that forgot what it was to be a little poor. Most of us been there done that. I used entry level scopes for 40 years and got an ear full from some people. But don't look back, and besides it ain't their money and it ain't their bills your paying. And there's some that it makes feel big to look down the nose at you. But believe me, we've all or most of us have been there done that.

Also, I don't know what you know about hunting but in my experience you don't need a super scope to kill game. And 400 yard shots are wrather rare. Most game is taken inside 100 yards. Some very cheap scopes take probably 75% of the game that's shot. Maybe more than that. So do what you can and have fun doing it.


What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!
