A few threads have got me wondering. If you were on a tight budget for a hunting rifle of.... Meh.... $550. Can it be done?
Would you rather have:
A. a cheaper rifle ($400 or less) and a lower price scope ($150 or less)
B. A cheaper rifle with a mid level scope ($150 plus)
C. A mid level priced rifle ($500) and a lower priced scope.
What would you pick and why? Not so much a caliber issue as much as a budget issue I would say you can fudge on the budget if need be but should show justication for blowing the budget.
I would say that I've had good results with budget scopes and rifles so far but choice of optic can bust a budget quick. Oh, and don't forget the mounts.
