[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 507270, member: 10832"] For me, glass is at the bottom of the "requirements" list. Most glass today is good enough and almost any upper end glass is great so it is basically a non issue for me. Durability, turret repeatability, reticle straightness, and reticle choices are at the top of the list. Swarovski has great glass but is extremely expensive for what you get IMO. They have had and still are having durability issues. Their turrets are not my favorite and I have seen a couple and heard of a few more that have repeatability issues. For long range stuff that is a deal breaker. If I am going to spend the kind of money Swarovski demands then I am getting some of the better scopes like Premier, S&B, SWFA, IOR etc. My opinion.
