Rifle or scope upgrade

[Jimmyc]

I have the same gun. Shoots a little less than a 1" group at 100. Love the gun. Just upgraded my 3 x 9 to a 6.5 x 20. Super excited for Thanksgiving this year.

Hah take a look at the top shooting teams. Then think of any scope that has never needed work after a few hunts. Now take a bad tumble and send them in. Of coarse vortex warintes are used the most, they actualy cover every thing but theft . See who will get you back in the field on their dime and who will tell you to in my case buy a new one.

every one has an opinion and some are fans and cant change. Figure out what you like, just factor it all in.

I think the top end Vortex line )Razor 2) is amazing. I had one on order for 5 months before finally cancelling that order after the ship date kept getting pushed back month after month, and then added a 5 month delay at the end.

 

If they ever catch up on the Razor 2, I might order one up. I think the others in their lines are moderate at best. Decent glass for the price, and even though I never had any issues with any of mine, I have heard of WAY too many factory issues from things OTHER than damage by the user.

 

There are other companies out there with a no questions asked warranty too. Steiner for one. Burris too, but they are owned by Steiner.

 

And others with lifetime warranties that cover anything but abuse and theft, like Leupold & Kahles for example. You have to pay to play, just like a house, car, etc. If you wreck it, why should Ford cover your F250? Or why should Fulton cover your house if you left the stove on and burned it down?
