[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2549644, member: 1951"] I’m going to take some heat here, I’ll bet! There is true alpha level glass out there like ZCO, Tangent and others. They are probably amazing In all ways…..but since I’m using that money to buy gas, it won’t go to these optics. There is also very high quality $1000 pieces of glass. I have a couple of Vortex PST Gen2’s 5-25x and 3-15x. They are trouble free, clear, great reticles and easy to use. The adjustments all check out on a tall target both looking and actually shooting them. I also have a Tract 4-20x that is just a hair better optically and has great locking turrets. Understand the Tract is $300-$500 more expensive. I also have a SWFA SS 3-15x….with no zero stop and no illumination, it is a darn good optic, but with less features. It retails for $599. Unmentioned has been the Nightforce optics which I believe to be near alpha performance, but with a rock solid prove military track record. The seem to fill the $1900-$3300 price range. If I come into some money, I’ll be spending it on Nightforce. I guess I’m saying that the relationship between price on the x axis and more better-ness on the y axis, the curve will be very logarithmic. Meaning you can Spend 10x more to get a little better performance. [/QUOTE]
