[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2512702, member: 97050"] Except it’s not in the eye of the beholder… It’s actually qualitative and quantitative. Measurable, between light transmission, color, and durability. Sorry, but $1000 scope does not compare to a $3000 scope. Athlon is not on the same playing field, let alone the same game as say, ZCO. Let’s stop pretending otherwise. I don’t like to sound like an elitist here, but it does nothing for anyone to be talking outside the realm of reality. More importantly, scopes are not like binoculars, but rather they are [B]telescopic sights[/B]. Mechanical accuracy, in my opinion, matters. Durability is more for field conditions, because things happen. You wouldn’t go on a hunt of a lifetime with a $20 Walmart scope would you? So let’s not pretend like these things don’t matter.. Weight is a byproduct of durability in a lot of cases. I’m sure the geriatric crowd hates the idea of 26+ ounce scopes, but it is what it be. [/QUOTE]
