Re: EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!!
If I had the money I would own the best.
I think the cost reflects how much time goes into each scope as well as the quality of construction and parts(like mentioned).
My experience with having my burris signature 8-32 go back twice for the same problem is an example of quality control issues and time spent building it
.You get what you pay for,And sometimes you don't.I would expect an accurate and good quality scope for $500 bucks!!!
For $3000,I would expect an EXCELLENT,AWESOME piece of glass that I would look through all day long!I would probably Take it off my rifle when not shooting, and carry it with me every were I go
...
I am very happy with my burris(now it was replaced).The difference is very clear to me now...I can see 22 cal holes very clearly now at 100 yards using 8X.Before It was replaced,(from A smudged internal lense that was not corrected properly)I had to increase the power on it to see anything..When I look through it now everything is very detailed were before I struggled to see things clearly(I guess munged up lenses could do that).
I'm sure it does not compare to the other scopes mentioned here(NF,USO,Z,etc) but I am very satisfied with what I can see and how it tracks..I have not used it at 600 and beyond,But I used the smudgy one at 600 and had fun.I can't wait to get back out to see what I can see.
QUESTION!
How do your scopes hold up to temp changes as far as 600+ yard POI change?How about scope and rifle combination in general?
Example would be shooting in the morning cold here in Maine,Then the afternoon starts rolling around and the rifle is getting warm from the sun and temp increase.
I experienced about a 10 inch shift in POI to the right at 600 yards one day when going from cold morning to afternoon sun and heat baking on my rifle.The groups just kinda moved to the right.I was using the same ammo BTW but that was also out in the elements.
I would expect this BTW,I know metal changes with temp,I was just wondering others experience with this and if they had more or less of this effect.
