[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1551235, member: 105653"] No right or wrong this is very much about preference. That said the age of your eye's and how you intend to use it does matter. Either way it is hard to go wrong. I can tell you from my work with athletes and musicians people gauge quality with their eye's. Put a famous name brand on something and it is always better than it is with some generic name in absence of empirical measurements. Put a weight inside of an electronic devise and again even before it has been used it is clearly "quality". Our beliefs rule over us if it comes down to actual facts vs beliefs! Never fail to take your own bias into consideration as well. I would love be in a position to actual do some hard research in this area with rifle scopes. I would love to be in a position to write a paper with hard facts as to were the limit of a human beings ability to discern optical qualities with just the naked eye as it applies to hunting optics and competition shooting optics and exactly where the cut off point is and what properties are the most important to each. You would have to have a standardized scope and be able to change out the lens and have different lens coating and standardized outdoor and indoor lab conditions and a huge data pool. This has been done with other things that use the eye but I doubt academia has done this as it relates to hunts and target shooter's specifically. Likely an extrapolation from other non-related research in other area's. Does anyone know if the military has done this? They have deep pockets! [/QUOTE]
