The scope cost more than the rifle, which is about right. Rightly stated.

Leupy 4.5-14x40 AO w/ TMR reticle and Turrets. Shoots pretty good too! (1.75 inch group at 600 yards--with a gusting 10 to 15 knot cross wind to boot!)

My most expensive scope isn't even mounted... A VX3 6.5-20x50 LR w/ VH reticle. I have a 6.5-20x40 on a R700 SPS-V in .204 in a Mickey A3 Sporter. Also have a 4.5-14x44 Conquest on an SPS SS .257 Weatherby in a ...wait for it... McSwirley Classic

I need to get to know you Shrapnel!
I believe everything Travis tells me; he's never steered me wrong before.
I want to get up in your part of the world with a couple of my rifles (that's an easy choice - I only have two) and bust some gongs or rocks at insane ranges.
The last game animal to kill I have left, on my rather short list, is a nice Mule Deer.

Schmidt 10X42 PMII on a GAP Nontypical. The only bad thing about this scope is that once you shoot through it, it's hard to shoot anything else.

Target scopes notwithstanding, my Kahles CL 3-9X42 multi-zero on a Cooper 57M Classic 22LR.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

My most expensive scope nowdays is an old P.O. Ackley 3-9 X 40 that I paid $35.00 used and its mounted on my .308 deer rifle. If I need a scope on one of my other rifles I take it off the .308 and put it on the rifle that needs it.

One of my most expensive scopes, Swaro Z3 3-10x42, is on one of my least expensive rifles, Tikka T3 6.5x55. But, it's such an accurate rifle, it earned it.
