I'm going to catch some heat for this but save your money and buy a Savage 10ML ii smokeless gun.

It eliminates all the cleaning and rust issues that are part of the traditional ML scene. Used ones are going for th same price as a top end traditional smoke pole.

I was the only one in my group of 4 that has one. After our hunt a few weeks ago 2 more have bought the Savage and we are now the majority.. Lol

Oh but you'll miss the smell of sulphur and all the other joys of smoke poles

It's like you get cheated if there is no smoke...LOL

Can't get past spending 4x as much for an ML to shoot deer at 100 yds..like buying a Lexus LS instead of a Camry to get to work

X3 on the TC impact, I bought one about 3 years ago and have no reason to upgrade. I started out using the poyrodex pellets but fond them to be real dirty burning and leaves a crude ring in the barrel not to mention it is corrosive. I switched to blackhorn 209 and couldn't be happier with it. Clean burning and much less corrosive. You can take multiple shots with it and not have to worry about swabbing the barrel, the last shot will load just as easily as the first shot. The little bit of residue it does leave behind actually acts like a lubricant making for easy loading shot after shot. I bought these small clear plastic powder viles that I fill with pre measured charges that I keep in my pocket while hunting making it just as convenient to load as the pellets, just pop the cap and pour the powder down the barrel. I highly recommend anyone using the pellets to try blackhorn 209 powder, you will love it.

so using BH209 gets rid of the crud ring, you don't have to go to smokeless...go figure

Hmmm......shooting an entry level ML with BH209 that takes deer consistently every year and is also easy to clean and does not rust. What ever am I going to do with the money saved?......lol

Nothing wrong with putting out more money for better quality...in my opinion hunting equipment is an investment...the more you invest the more you have to play around with come time to sell or trade up...cant knock a guy cause he has a prettier gun then you...or I guess you already did...either way whats it matter what someone else spends their money on.

No one criticized HIM for spending his money....we just mocked him for telling a new guy that he should 'save his money' to buy way more gun than he needs.

Like you said yourself, a Bushnell Banner is a good scope, you don't need to "save your money" to buy a Leupold.

I'd rather be over-gunned than under any day...lol

On the subject of scopes. I put a Leupold VXR 3x9x40 on my 10ML ii. Oh what a joy to hunt with...
