[QUOTE="opticspecialist, post: 580379, member: 22559"] let the buyer beware, you always get what you pay for, sometimes you pay for the name, there are other reasons for the price difference. optical clarity, consistency, reliability, and even reticles can make a difference. nightforce for example, they are expensive, but mechanically, they are probably the most consistent scopes on the market. they are also some of the most rugged and heaviest. any scope with a horus reticle is going to cost more because you have to pay horus for the royalties on the reticle. most decent scopes that are worth buying also have a life time warranty and good customer service. schmidt and bender and swarovski even go as far as to send you a scope to use while your scope is fixed if you ever have a problem. shooting long range, mirage can be an issue you can better cope with if you have better glass. in low light situations, better optics, illumination can make all the difference in the world. in reflex optics, like aimpoint and eotech, you pay for an optic that will work in adverse situations or work for a long time, the aimpoint micro's can run 5 or 6 years on one battery, and can take some abuse, check this out [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89HEefl1KI4]M4 Torture Test Promo - YouTube[/ame] the times you really see the difference is when el cheapo optics break at the most inopportune time, when your walking back to camp because you can't see through your scope or you can't see your reticle when the buck is standing right in front of you, when you can't see through the mirage, or when you make a turret adjustment and it either doesn't return to zero, or won't adjust consistently. or your red dot blinks on and off when you fire, or the battery goes dead in two hours, [/QUOTE]
