well i don`t think lower priced type scope like the common 3X9 Leupold scope that hunters use for hunting give a chit if his scope tracks perfect and yes i use this cheaper scope sometimes too. i also have killed more critters with a 22 Hornet with a lower priced 4 x Leupold than any other rifle /scope combination i own plus i sighted this combo in 4 years ago ,i have no ideal if it tracks or hits the center of the circle/bulleyes anymore but it still kills those critters rather its 90 degrees or 20 below ,this rifle combo hangs in the uninsulated garage all year long never gets cleaned either or checked for still sighted in.
but when i shoot long range either at targets ,for competition or longer range hunting over 300 yards then yes i use a expensive NIghtforce scope . so why would most hunters spend a bunch of money on a expensive scope to kill a deer at 50 -75 yards once a year ? when a lower priced Leupold will still work just fine for a hunter ?
