Some seem to be saying that if you pay $1500 for your rifle you may not be able to find a scope good enough to work on it. I think people that want to lay out that kind of money should go ahead and do it, I also think you can do just as well spending a lot less on the scope. The vast majority of hunter's see well enough to shoot well with a $150 scope and I suspect they also can't afford a thousand dollar scope. I'm also quite certain the vast number of hunter's will never find a place to practice shooting to 500 yds nor will they ever try the shot just for hoots! But well heeled shooter's that like to tell of extremely long shot's champion the idea that you need to spend more on the scope than the rifle.

Thinking about that, should I get a Nightforce scope for the Mossberg I paid $300 for? Will it do anything to make either myself or the rifle shoot any better? With a $165 Vortex Crossfire I get right at 1/2" group's at 100yds off a bench with it, consistently!
