Thread: whats the cheapest scope you run

I bought a Leapold FX-2 for my Anshutz because it was pretty. Some forum members who were in the truck night shooting at a forum hunt in Kurow years ago will remember it breaking my best ever run of consecutive rabbits. Broke a cross hair. Never broken cross hairs on a .22 with anything else, even $5 Chinese shit.

Pretty sure in this case compared to regular Leapolds, the internals are junk. Otherwise I agree with you. Some terrible internals hold zero well, though you can spend days trying to get that zero.
