[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2243634, member: 9299"] I am not so sure about improved quality vs some of the older higher quality glass, but I do believe CNC machining and optics grinding has kept the price points somewhat in check. I have some old scopes and binos that are very well made, great glass and optically compare to anything made today, but these older optics use zero to almost zero plastics and other cheaper materials in their manufacture. They are tough as nails and have endured decades of heavy hunting and occasional misfortune, but like the old Timex commercials, they keep on ticking. [/QUOTE]
