[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1938105, member: 2736"] Not sure that the shooting world isn't responsible because the manufactures are slaves to sales and if the public want's something, the manufactures will normally accommodate us. Look at the changes that the long range crowd has thrust on them, and the many changes we have demanded. Things that were very good at one time, are hard if not impossible to find now days. Bench rest used to be the trend setters, but now it seems that every new product is aimed at the long range use. High power spotting scopes are not new but they definitely are an advantage in our sport in my opinion because sometimes the max power will not show conditions as well and being able to try different powers at different ranges all the way out to the limit of the rifle or my ability has been a plus for me. When I shot match's, Many times I would crank the spotting scope to the max to read the mirage and then crank it down to clear the image. I hear what you are saying and change doesn't come easy for me ether, but when a product comes along that is better engineered and can help me I will make the change. The other group of shooters that have greatly benefited by these improvements are the assault rifle crowd. look at the customer driven market for those folks. Mostly I have come to the conclusion that if we don't buy it, they won't make it. :) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
