In the real world, most average gun owners do not need a $500 scope on a $1500 rifle. They just do not use it enough to know the difference between that set-up and one that costs $500 complete. Just like most average reloaders don't use enough ammo to justify a $1500 progressive set-up, or the average hunter needing a $1200 pair of binocs. But on the internet, those are all minimum. In the real world, it ain't always what you have, but how you use it. While tools can make a difference, someone who works building bird houses with his kid for a 4-H project does not need the same tools as a custom furniture builder. Someone clearing their driveway does not need the same size plow as the city he lives in. To some folks $150 for a scope is all the extra cash they have in a year. To recommend they wait 4 more years to get a decent scope is realistic only to the guy who drops more than that on wine for dinner. Realistic is just that. Lookin' down your nose at someone that does not have the money, personal possessions or the ability to buy what you do, realistically....... is just being a snob. Appreciating what you have and your ability to use it, is realistic.
