Your low end scope is good enough until it isn’t good enough.
If you’ve got a dozen guns, don’t tell me you can’t afford decent scopes.
I have had my 50 BMG turn a really expensive piece of glass into a kaleidoscope (it had a fantastic warranty and was replaced) we finished out the afternoon using a 30 year old Japanese made Tasco that didn’t fail. So I understand cost and even age doesn’t equal reliability.
If I put even a $1000 scope on every gun I had, it would cost me more than I spent on my first house. I do own some and it’s not uncommon for them to move around to where they are needed. I just know they are not necessary under all conditions and there are less expensive options that will do most jobs I need done.
Even my best low power large objective glass can’t see in the dark as well as the cheapest NVD for example. Just have to know what you need or at least expect.
