Heard an old adage years back. Something to the effect that you should spend as much on your scope as on the rifle.

True that.
Most rifles will shoot well enough out of the box, and even more will shoot great (i.e., MOA to sub-MOA) with just a bit of basic "tweaking," such as bedding the action, channeling the barrel in the stock, and a decent trigger job.
Scopes are different, being made to hit a certain price-point in the "optics consumer market," which means they will vary drastically in quality.
Having spent good money on a decent rifle, that's where guys start to go cheap when looking for a "budget" scope. Worse, they tend to go even cheaper on mounts and rings, usually settling on buying thin, flimsy Chi-Com junk with soft metal out-of-spec screws that never stay tight and often snap when torqued.
