[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1437172, member: 103369"] For the most part I agree with you, as I usually do, and I don't want to split hairs. But when it comes to an expensive scope, the counter top test or the parking lot test -by itself- just doesn't cut it. (to test glass in low light) Any store that is big enough to have a selection of quality glass is going to have lights, cars coming and going, etc. Too much stray light. In a case like that, someone might end up with the conclusion that a *** is in the same ballpark as an alpha. Hunting conditions are going to be different. Absolutely, he should look at it in the store and get an idea of the quality. But then, afterwards, do plenty of research with unbiased individuals who have done tests and compared the same options side by side under real conditions. That's what I would do. Before I dropped a couple of grand on premium glass. But hey, whatever. Ultimately it's whatever the person is happy with themselves. For example, I know people who "wouldn't touch" alpha glass because it's "too expensive" and their vari-xIII is "just as good", blah blah blah. That's fine. More deer for me. :) [/QUOTE]
