    People say the more you spend the better the scope, but I struggle to believe that a 2k scope is twice as good as a 1k scope. I have a Burris 3-9 FF2 on a .223 in weaver saddle rings. It is the...

    Yeah fully agree with Micky Duck re using binoculars. Even when rabbiting I can watch a face for 5 - 10 minutes and see nothing. Then I invariably say to myself, "There must be something on that...
