Just to be clear the reason I am not for buying cheap guns is because when I first started buying guns thats just what I did. With three of the Rohm 22 single actions. My dad also bought a Rohm 38. It didn't fire until he worked on it. The 22s I owned all shot. All over the place.
It wasn't till I was given a Ruger single six that I found out how accurate a single action 22 could be. That gun would chew the center out or a target at 15 yards with me, a beginner shooting it. Then I inherited my grandfathers SS made in 1961 and updated in 1973 and I have all the old lockwork parts.
Now if I cant hit a 13oz coffee can just about every shot off hand at 100 yards I am off my game. But its not that I am such a great shot. It comes from having an accurate, WELL MADE gun.
I learned the same lesson about buying cheap scopes. Now the rifle scopes I buy start $200 and go up from there. There is nothing like sitting on a deer stand wondering if the cheap scope you have on your deer rifle is still on target. None of those worries with a better scope.
