TFB Poll: Have you ever spent more on the optics than on the gun?
Published: September 16th, 2008
I have. I am wondering what you all think.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Almost every time.
Rem700 - .308 w / Zeiss Conquest 6.5x-20x (almost 2:1)
CZ527 - .223 w / Leupold VXIII 6.5-20x (Just barely)
Olympic Arms M-4 - .223 / Trijicon ACOG (almost 2:1)
CZ452 - .22 w / Leupold VXII 3-9x (Close)
It's easier / cheaper to make a good reliable weapon than it is to make reliable optics.
Whoh. Statistical dead heat.
I haven't spent more on a scope than a firearm. Yet. Mostly due to limited budget. Given my addiction to gadgets, it's only a matter of time before I do.
