Greetings Linkerman,
My dirty little secret is that fixed power scopes being out of style with today’s “Gadget Generation” are easy to find at gun shows and within internet web sites.
And, purchased used but even when in excellent condition are typically less expensive (often about 3/4 less) than all these newest multi-feature, often huge, heavy and overly powerful scopes so popular today.
Now at age 73, I suspect that I possibly may have taken approximately 200 hoofed game animals.
Yet, not once after I had fired that all important first shot at whatever species, have I said to myself —> “Dang, I wish I could have spent an extra moment twisting the variable power adjustment ring on my scope, instead of simply firing this shot”.
And so, if you can endure the shame that I live with every day from being seen with fixed power rifle scopes (sometimes no scope at all)
, indeed you will save a lot of money.
And, if you practice quite often (year ‘round), then no matter what equipment you choose, more than likely you will also continue to enjoy success in your hunting efforts.
Best Regards,
Velo Fudd.
