[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1617544, member: 68875"] You do realize S&B has come out with new lines and improvements in the last 5-10 years, right? And even a new one within the past year. Most other scope companies are still trying to catch S&B. Which is great for the shooting sports. They have realized that the top echelon is tough to reach. And S&B (I am assuming) has no interest in bringing a less expensive/lower quality scope to the table that could be detrimental to the high expectations of quality they have come to represent. What about Tangent Theta? Zero Compromise Optics? Minox ZP5 series? All Alpha glass. All expensive. All relatively new. And all compared to who? S&B. If you cannot see a difference between a Razor Gen 2 or AMG and a S&B PMII in glass quality alone, I wish I had your eyes. Because I sure can. And I have owned them, and shot behind several other examples of them. Remember too, the Razor Gen 2 and AMG still has a hefty price tag on them when new. And how many were sold at that $3k sticker price? I spend almost every weekend shooting. 2800-4000+ rounds a year for the past 5-6 years. So I get to spend a lot of time behind scopes. For me, totally worth spending on top tier optics. Unfortunately, only 1-3 shots are at big game each year. Sure wish I were luckier at drawing tags. [/QUOTE]
