[QUOTE="Jcalder, post: 5757962, member: 12150"] At one time I had a few trashcos. They worked fine, until they didn’t. I won’t ever advocate for not checking your stuff, but think in this. You have a rifle and scope combo. You sight it in when you purchase it. You hunt with it and it’s fine. Next year you get it out and have to crank on dials cause it’s off. Why is it off? You mean it lost zero sitting in the closet? A 2” zero shift probably isn’t gonna matter to most. It wasn’t that long ago and pie plate accuracy was acceptable. But when you start compounding errors it adds up. Another point. I can remember the days of sighting in a rifle. You turn your knob and it takes it a shot or two to get the darn thing to move. How many have ever turned a knob and tapped the turret afterward. Or bumped the stock to make sure it moved lol. And no, you don’t need $1000 optics. But you need to buy quality optics that do exactly as they’re supposed. They’re a sighting device. And any shift not caused by an adjustment is a failure somewhere down the line. I will agree tho, skill and experience are keys to success. [/QUOTE]
