Forum:Is this cheating?

I bought Borderlands, and almost immediately started to Mod my weapons. Soon thereafter, I found myself just bypassing Red Weapons Chests, because I had a heavily modded Combustion Hellfire, so why even bother looking in chests, eh? Then the game stopped being fun, so I dropped all of my modded weapons on the ground and walked away from them. After hours and hours of gameplay, I finally EARNED a Combustion Hellfire. Here's the thing: This Hellfire is not equipped with a scope. If I were to take this gun into Willow Tree and add a scope to it, but not touch any other specs, would my fellow Borderlander's consider this to be cheating? In my opinion, this is no different than buying a new AR-15 and then adding an EO Tech gunsight, or buying a Remington 700, and then taking it to a gunsmith to have a 3x-9x scope installed. I've sworn off modding my guns, so the communities opinion on this matter is important to me. (I've never posted on a Wiki or on on any board before, so I'm not sure how to sign this thing.
