Re: Spotting scopes
The other thing to consider is the pleasure of upgrading. I wouldn’t think that “buying once” is any fun. I spend my whole winter studying different gear and upgrading. Not really because I need to, but because I like to. It’s fun! If you start at the top, where do you go from there? Sounds boring to me! I like trying different stuff. I like researching and learning. If you buy the very best right from the start what do you read about? Boring threads about inferior gear!? Probably.
Like I said before, I have mid range optics. They are a big improvement from what I started with. I’ll try something else next time and pass this stuff on to my boys or sell it used to fund the next purchase. Things like optics and rifles hold their value really well if not too badly abused. It’s almost like money in the bank. There is no harm in making gradual upgrades. In fact, you might just figure something out on your own instead of taking advice from guys on a forum page.
just my thoughts
