[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 790251, member: 204"] Bratch makes excellent points. I would agree that 95% of folks will never ride their guns hard enough to need a "good" rifle, but the 5% whose lives (or other peoples lives) depend on them will want the "good" ones. I was shooting one of my ACOG equipped AR at the SCRAP range some time back when another shooter with his AR that had an illuminated chinese clone ACOG on it started telling me that I was a dumba$$ for buying a high dollar real ACOG when his cheap clone would do everything mine would do. He had shot 200rds through his after initial zero and it has held zero ever since. His rifle had even fallen over (while in its padded case) and it still held zero. I told him, lets do this: We will each take off our optics and hurl them downrange as far as we can. Since they will be dirty when they land, let's dunk them in the lake next to the range to rinse them off. We will then re-mount them and see if they both still hold zero. Needless to say, he did not take me up on this. My point is, you will not see much difference between "good" and "good enough/decent" until you ride the really hard and most folks will never do that.
