[QUOTE="pavementends, post: 2966404, member: 103643"] The scope designer makes a series of choices. Glass quality, durability, repeatability, features, weight etc. all of which interact and in the end are also driven by price point and market demand. 50 years ago no one was "dialing" the only large objective lens scopes were the European models used for night hunting 8X56 being somewhat common. 3x zoom range the norm. 7/8" and 1" tube diameters. As our demands changed scope tubes got larger and scopes became more complex. Hopefully the larger tubes allow for more durable mechanicals. Add light rifles lots of powder and a market that chases fads like teenage girls and the next boy band and the designers have a difficult job. We are truly blessed with choices in features and price points. [/QUOTE]
