Another lifetime ago I worked in a gun shop and very regularly people would drop several hundreds on a new high end Remington or Browning (FN) rifle. So we’d ask them if they wished to buy a scope and our gunsmith would mount it and boresight it free. So we’d offer and show them Redfields and Leupolds usually a 3-9. Then they would purchase a Bushnell Banner 2-7 scope. Eventually we quit showing them the good stuff and just asked them what they wanted.
