But never take for granted that they are. Always ask the dealer to be certain. I'm often tickled by the scopes I see on extremely fine hunting rifles. Mounted on the rifle will be an inexpensive scope not designed for the recoil the rifle produces. The opposite should be the case.
Today there are many fine and highly accurate firearms, both commercially available and custom-made.
If you're going to spend money on a good rifle, spend practically an equal amount of money on the scope. Matter of fact I would much rather spend less money on a rifle and more money on the scope I mount on it. The latter combination will pay some truly handsome dividends.
