[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1652479, member: 71039"] Optics are so subjective - everybody always talks about how good the “glass” is. There were probably big gaps in quality 20 years ago, but Japan, the Philippines and even china can put together some high quality glass that is just as good as the euro stuff. Then it comes down to proprietary coatings from the company. The most important thing in my opinion is the mechanics - does it hold zero, does it track, and does it do both of those things reliably. The most mechanically sound scope out there is Tangent Theta - there scope error is something stupid like .002, and its always the same with every tangent theta scope tested - .002. They are as consistent as hell. I don’t have $4700 To scope all of my rifles, so the nightforce, leupold and vortex are adequate for most of my needs. They hold zero, take a beating, track well, and do those things well enough for my shooting needs. [/QUOTE]
