Ivmiker and Greggh,

Honestly, hunting optics are the least important piece of hunting equipment in my 20 years of hunting in Alaska. Plenty of great riflescopes out there below the $300 mark. Same with binocs too.

Same with reloading equipment. I have a cheap lee reloader kit thats produced accurate, reliable ammo for 18 years.

My most important pieces of equipment are my river boat, dog team, mushing equipment and freight sleds. Without those, I couldnt break into the remote, roadless territory that i get to see.

So many wasted words on optics around here, oftentimes by guys who dont do sht.

My binocs are a beat up pair of burris 10x32mm signature that are 12 years old.

Give me a basic 10-12 oz 2-7 compact scope with a ballistic recticle, and ill hike mountains allllll day.
