So right off the bat, we should tell you this isn\u2019t going to be a series of \u201cIf/then\u201d statements about \u201cIf you do _____, then you should get _____ scope\u201d. Truth is, the possibilities there are endless and it would get pretty boring pretty fast. What Jimmy, Mark and Ryan M really wanted to get at in this episode is how do you determine exactly what it is that you\u2019re going to be doing with your rifle and scope, and then how do you determine exactly what features, level of optical quality, and price range, to name just a few of the variables, you really and truly need to accomplish that task. We see bad advice all over the internet about choosing optics \u2013 many times putting down new comers to hunting and/or shooting or making them feel like the sport/lifestyle simply can\u2019t be done without a huge budget or gobs of time and an optical engineering degree. Perhaps a few times we got in \u201cRant\u201d mode here because of it, but just know, it\u2019s all in the name of helping everyone figure out what\u2019s best for them and simply being comfortable with that choice being different from what another person may want/need. As always, if you have any questions about what riflescope you should choose for your very specific application and situation, we\u2019re more than happy to chat that over with you and you can contact us on social media, via phone, e-mail, or in person if you stop by our showroom here in Barneveld, WI. \xa0\n\nAs always, we want to hear your feedback!
