[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5757979, member: 18110"] I get what you're saying...and agree, but it wasn't till just a few years ago that I could afford anything more than a 100 dollar scope... sometimes less. And I've NEVER had a scope malfunction. I did have a ring malfunction that caused a few missed deer...and they were Leupold rings... actually failed several times. I just couldn't wrap my mind around how such a big name brand could be failing in about 4 rounds...but they were. Switched to a different/cheaper brand and never had another failure. [USER=3237]@mike243[/USER] has mentioned several times on here about premium bullet failures....and although I don't think I've had a failure per se, I do think most are over rated. Honest to God....I've had more inconsistencies with nosler than any other company....and how many people swear by them? A .25 cent Speer cup and core will kill deer just as dead as a 1.25 partition, just put it where it goes and it's game over. I guess my point is...you don't need the most expensive stuff to be good at this hobby. I hate to use this example....but just look at Catman. I truly hate to think about the money I've needlessly pissed away on high dollar junk. [/QUOTE]
