Of course it is. It stands almost no chance of ever gaining value. That qualifies it as a personal liability, not an investment. I'm talking from a strictly financial point of view here.And quality glass is never a liability. Hard to choot what you can't see
Boat...so you can lose the rifle...that had the scope.
So when you buy the boat could you forward the lead to me on the AK?
It depends on what you want to do more. If you are just going to ge the optic, mount it, and stick the rifle back in the safe, get the AK. Hell, even if you going to shoot but only going out to 1-300 yards, get the AK.
If you really want to get into precision shooting and get out to some good distance, get the NF.
Rob Sheppers class @TruPrep this past Saturday was fantastic. So so much info on optics. After that class, I have settled on NF for the money, as well as MOA turrets/reticle and SFP.
Ha! I'm leaning to get the AK and sell the Remington 700. And screw long distance stuff.
Remmy 700 in .308 you say??
