[QUOTE="4onaside, post: 998075, member: 2975"] Jim, No p...... contest intended. Its just that apparently you and I have differing opinions on the value of a dollar, or at least on how we spend the ones that we have. I have been deer hunting since I was 26 years old, a long time ago, and I have added the western deals in recent years. You might be able to acknowledge that I don't consider using the equipment that I use any "gamble" whatsoever, because in the long years that I have been afield I have never had a scope failure that has cost me the first head of game. And, after all, isn't that the bottom line? Sure my next time out, my equipment might let me down, but it hasn't thus far, ever. There is nothing better to rely on in this life than experience. And, the more that you have the more confidence that you develop that something will work. It has for me. And, you are being overly generous on the cost of a Simmons 8 pt. You said $80. I believe the one I have cost $40. Incidentally, I am not a Simmons fan. My son also had an 8 point which fell apart on him. And the scope that I mentioned that I killed an elk with, and I discarded when I got home was also a Simmons.
