[QUOTE="thequickad, post: 15053, member: 1228"] a good but somewhat biased article [url="http://www.chuckhawks.com/scoping_out.htm"]http://www.chuckhawks.com/scoping_out.htm[/url] I find these words echo well with me (a consumer) "Don't expect a $500 scope to be four times better than a $125 scope; it just isn't so. Forget the ad copy. Scope makers could publish resolution specs, brightness specs, allowable tracking variances. Valid hunting issues like depth of field cannot be gleaned from the printed page. Most don't, and apparently won't. They are all "bright," "shockproof," and "fogproof." None, it seems, are fully schlockproof. Their ad-copy certainly isn't "parallax free," at any range." Why don't scope makers publish meaningful specs that can be easily compared among different manufactures? Becuase if they do, you will find high-end scopes really don't give you that much more for the 2X,3X or even 4X prices they currently are getting in the market place.
