    Get something that is cheap to shoot and shoot a lot. Practice will have more effect on your shooting than glass quality blah blah etc.

    Yeah this is a good option, a few years ago lost all my rifles in a barn fire, bought a Mossberg 270 with a cheap scope and the first 2 shots at 90 meters produced 2 hinds from this bore sighted combo and it served its purpose for 3 years until getting another A-bolt

    You went hunting with a rifle that had only been bore-sighted?
