Years ago I initial heard the term "gun snob". This is an individual that will look down his nose if your weapon doesn't live up to what he has decided is a "proper" firearm. It could be that it isn't the suitable brand, is too inexpensive to be any good, or maybe the wood is not fine sufficient to be worthy of consideration by those of the upper crust. The very same sort of individual exists where telescopic sights are concerned, the "scope snob".

Really frankly, I have little make use of for this type of individual. As no-one appreciates a fine hand crafted firearm more so than I, not everybody can afford one. The fact of the matter is that you can take just as numerous head of game with an inexpensive arm as with a high priced one, and have just as much fun doing it!

Pretty much very much the same thing could be stated for rifle scopes. Yes a super-duper high- dollar scope is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold, yet that does not mean you can't get the job done with an inexpensive one.

Now, some might say the just method to go is to get a Leupold, Burris, etc. and that they are a better item than many of the less high-priced brand names, but better how, and at what price? What are you spending for when you buy a high end optic? Mostly you are spending for added light collecting ability which is only noticeable in the very first few mins of daylight, or the last few at dusk. You must ask yourself if it makes sense to pay several times the cost just for those few extra minutes. If it does, well then why not get a Swarovski? It is supposedly brighter in low light than the others, yet then again at what cost? You see, it's all relative. You fast reach the point of reducing returns. You have to pay way more to gain relatively little.

I own both Leupold and Burris scopes and they are fine pieces of equipment indeed. I also own low end scopes. No, they aren't as bright and not very as clear under certain circumstances, but they still allow me to bag just as much game and at a much lower price. Would I take a low end scope on a pricey once a lifetime hunt? No, I would not, yet for virtually all individuals I dare say a Cadillac is nice, yet a Ford or Chevy will still get you where you want to go. There is a spot for them all. Remember, it's the thrill of the hunt that actually matters!
