For a match gun or even a hunting weapon it is easy to invest as much in the
optic as in the firearm.  If someone went on a 2 week trip hunting in Alaska
oir safari in Africa, the firarm and optic is a minor investment compared to
the travel and housing costs.  I have a friend that owns an $8000 FLIR thermal
 he sits on a suppressed Ruger 10/22 for shooting raccoons and other critters
in his neighborhood in complete darkness and near silence.  The scope has a ge
neric mount, so it's not money wasted on just a $300 .22 with a $300
suppressor
