[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3993773, member: 51836"] I don't disagree with any of the above , light gathering and clarity are what drives my purchasing decisions . I have some rifles with old "good quality scopes" from their era and every time I look through one of them in broad daylight I am impressed with them still , looking through the same scope at dusk or dawn reminds me why I have gravitated to really good quality glass as I have aged. The funny thing is now days there are some decent options in the $300 to $500 range and people will still buy knock off or cloned junk. I am not talking about made in Asia specifically being bad , but no name garbage and want to compare it to a known quality brand which would have cost the same money . The difference being Burris for example is a better choice than some of the really cheap stuff people seem to want to buy and there are constantly mark down deals on Burris scopes on the web. Right after Christmas I purchased an 8-40 XTR II on Amazon for $519 . That optic normally sells for right at $1000 or close to it. If you just must have something different for the sake of different Euro Optic recently had clearance deals on some of the USO scopes which were half price or even less than half. [/QUOTE]
