[QUOTE="WanderingGoatie, post: 2175374, member: 94880"] I agree. I’ve slowed on buying new high end shooting equipment due to filling every current need. However, I can’t even keep track of what’s worth being interested in or which brand is of potential quality. My most recent purchase was a “blemished” close-out crimson trace 1-8 for a 223 AR fun gun. There’s only a few (3 or less I think) companies in Japan manufacturing/branding a higher tier of these scopes and optics for rebranding and all are of equally decent quality. My minimal understanding of the industry has me thinking that manufacturing must’ve gotten cheaper and some of these overseas companies are getting good at easily making what these new middle man companies want to release on the market. I like picking up a ffp 34mm 1-8 for $400 when my research has lead me to believe high end brands in the optics game are being made in the same exact facility and charging much more. I might be completely wrong as some of the info I’ve read seems like hearsay, but I know less than ten years ago I bought a 3-9 sfp scope for $400, that performed nowhere near where this CT optic does. This shooting tech is fun and the competition only gives us consumers more options and better prices😀 [/QUOTE]
