Perceivable scope wobble is just that, at lower powers you don't notice the wobble, but it's still there. 
I'm not sure what manufacturer had the ad in the late 80's(Leupold?) showing 3, 3shot groups all over layed, one group shot at 3x magnification, the next group at 6x, and the third group at 9x. No POI shift! 
Time to hit the range boyz, summer is here, and with a Thermacell, and or some bug dope, it makes for some good times.
Tight Groups. |
I agree with everything but the 1st part. In a perfect world yes. However, not every rifle deserves or needs a $600 scope. If I did that for every rifle, I would hardly have any.
Besides which, I'm not going to shoot long distance or try for small groups with the scope on the lowest power. That's just nutty.
Optical perfection is nice, but hardly needed.
