[QUOTE="Quick Karl, post: 439148, member: 7237"] The fact is that the $300 - $500 scopes available today are 10-times better than the sniper scopes that were used in Viet Nam, and those guys made some incredible shots, without laser range finders and lighted reticles... so spending $1000+ on a scope that you shoot on Sunday's when it's sunny, is silly, in my humble opinion. I'm not saying the high priced scopes aren't fantastic scopes, I'm just saying I ain't falling for the marketing hype and I could give a s**t about keeping up with the Jones' -- I ain't paying $1000+ to try to make myself look better than my friends that may not be able to afford $1000+ for a scope. My personal choice in scopes is Nikon - awesome glass, fair prices, and lifetime warranty. I had a Burris XTR when they first came out and wasn't very happy with the microscopic exit pupil at full magnification, or the goofy 1-minute adjustments (which they told me before hand would be 1/4-minute) so I sold it. The Jones' are idiots anyways... [/QUOTE]
