[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1209678, member: 39764"] It's economy of scale and the higher the scale gets, the less participants there are. Good example is, how many people can afford a Cigarette boat? Not many, however, many can afford a 17 foot bass boat or runabout. Just how much better is a 2500 buck scope compared t a 1000 buck scope? Can the average hunter really tell the difference or is the 2500 buck scope a status symbol? Some shots may warrant the uber buck scope but most won't. I think I mentioned earlier that I bought a pair of Swaro 10-40 EL's. The only reason I did was I got them used but well cared for from a good friend for less than half price. Are they good, sure are. Are they worth 2300 bucks new to me... no way. My Vortex Diamondback 10-40's are almost as good, for a whole lot less. I say almost, I cannot tell any difference in image quality, I can tell the difference in low light conditions but that's it and certainly not worth an extra 11700 bucks (retail) in my view. Warranty is the same on both. The difference is Swaro will clean them and align them for life, whatever life means. Life can be forever or tomorrow (if the company goes tits up).:) [/QUOTE]
