After deer hunting and shooting over 40 years I thought I knew something about every riflescope brand out there. Not so! a friend in another state I am helping introduce to hunting just bought a Mossberg Patriot 30-06 combo that came with a Dead Ringer 3-9x40 already mounted. Oh well.
Never heard of Dead Ringer. I assume it's a cheapo, and I am of the opinion that a cheapo current rifle can be fine--but not a scope.
My question is this: Anyone out there familiar enough with Dead Ringer to affirm or refute my inclination to suggest he replace it with something not too expensive but more dependable, brighter, and with better eye relief like a used/discounted Grand Slam, VX-3, Conquest, S-II etc? He is a young family man. May be taking him to Nebraska this November.
looking more for feedback on Dead Ringer than for recommended alternatives
Thanks
