Looking for a new scope

[Klem]

Not really unrealistic. Theres alot of guys using inexpensive budget optics out to 1000 yards.

Where have you seen a lot of guys using budget optics for LR shooting?

I have been shooting 1K yds for over a decade and most scopes are worth more than the gun, in the thousands. Some beginners turn up with hunting scopes but quickly realise the money they saved on the scope is wasted in ammunition. Made in China Coke bottles with a new zero every time the gun recoils is a recipe for disappointment.
