Those who crow about their $300 brands and those that crow about their $3,000-$6,000 brands. One group is poor or pretends to be poor claiming their scope does what they need it to do and the other group has a defining no compromise self imposed mission for their scope. Be it expensive hunts, competitive shooting, or life and death situations. My hunts I take serious, my long range shooting I take serious, my self imposed consistent accuracy I take serious. That’s why I don’t compromise with $300 scopes. Glass quality/clarity/chromatic aberration, magnification, reticle, focal plane, windage/elevation adjustment, turret design, zero stop, tube size, objective diameter, and weight all play a factor for me. These are all things that don’t come cheap and many here I would venture to guess would not consider to evaluated when looking for an optic. Why, because they don’t need it or they don’t realize the value of having it. Either way, to each their own.</blockquote>
