What does one look for in a good scope? How much Magnification does one really need? I've read threads that state you should almost pay as much for your scope as you do for your rifle, but how does that effect when you purchase say... a $200 rifle or a $2000 rifle?
What options are kinda overkill for Van. Isle. hunting or BC Coast?
I'm going with the guess-timate that the sales reps are going to try to sell every dollar they can out of me, so I figured I'd ask the pros as to what is worth using without under or over spending.
Potential scope will go onto whichever potential rifle I have yet to buy... will be a non-mag. Short listed to: .243/ 7mm-08/ 6.5X55/ .270/ .308.
Hunting Deer mainly, maybe pie plates, zombies and if I get lucky enough, an elk or moose tag. Not a bear hunter, probably won't be going after goat/sheep or predators.
