For $1500 you can buy a high quality rifle of sub moa accuracy capably, that shoots good out past 1000 yards. $1500 for a 50 yard pop can shooter yikes!
Well some of us dont shoot precision . My range is only 200 m. I collect military style firearms. It is my choice what I collect and buy. I think the optic to shoot past 1000 m costs more than $1500. I guess I should just throw out my 1942 Inglis Bren on a MKI tripod cause I cant shoot it at all
