Technology has come a long way. every few years even. I just picked up a 3I, really extends the DNR's suggested shooting hours.
For working up loads and testing accuracy, I think about getting something I can crank up.
I hunt at 30 yards, so light and clarity is what I am after when hunting.
But a modern cheap junk scope is probably better than those old things.
Again, as for pitting, 100 yards is fairly close range for a 30-06. If that is what you hunt at, and it shoots good enough for game, than no problem. But it is the gunsmiths duty to point that out, if you asked him to inspect.
It also may effect how quickly it gets dirty, and how fast accuracy opens up. Some guns do it faster than others.
