I didn't say I disagreed with him, there just wasn't a lot of specifics. In his post agtman only quantified quality with price.
Scopes, I agree buy a good scope. What might be a quality scope to some people, might be considered scraping the bottom for others. To me a quality hunting scope is one that maintains zero time after time being beat around, that adjustments move when I make clicks when I need to, has good eye relief, generous eyebox, and has decent glass.
Low rings, I don't wholly disagree with that but as some of us know low rings don't always work best. Stock comb height, scope eye pieces, and people are different requiring different height rings to accommodate one or many of these things. I like to keep my scopes low as well, but sometimes low rings simply don't work.
Now on to scope rings and bases, what's quality again? Do I need Nightforce, Badger Ordinance, or Seekins Precision that'll cost me close to $200 if not more to have quality? Or will Talley mounts or Warne, Leupold, Burris, and yes Weaver provide me with a quality mounting system that is both durable and reliable at $40-75?
