Yip, for ''set and forget'' you don't need an expensive scope to shoot 100m groups. But your WSM is a 1000y capable calibre, so you’re only using 10% of its capability...but to get the other 90% out of it you'll need something better than a Nikko Stirling sitting on top of that rifle.

There are many old sayings about scopes - ''you can't hit it if you can't see it'' or ''buy the most expensive scope you can afford, then fit a rifle to it'' both spring to mind.
