[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1372527, member: 12995"] Hypothetically there's a Lamborghini that is only worth $100,000, that a dealer has marked up to $200,000 because that's what they think it's worth on the consumer market. I might offer them the $100,000 actual value, but they refuse my offer because they say it's worth the $200K asking price. But the very next day some rich dude comes walking in, who has unlimited money to burn, and has a Lamborghini collection, and needs THAT exact year and model car to fill an empty spot in his garage. He instantly decides he just can't leave without that car, and pays them their $200,000 price tag without question. The car is only actually worth $100,000, but to him it was worth every penny of the $200,000 he paid because he "needed" it for his collection. Value is in the eye of the beholder...Quite literally, in the case of optics. My point is, S&B can claim and charge whatever they want for their products, and will tell you it's the best because they want to sell them. But until I see one that allows me to look into wormholes in outer space, or see the future, I'm not paying $7,000 for a rifle scope. If you have that kind of money, and choose to buy one, no judgement here, and more power to you, but just because they say it's worth $7,000 doesn't mean it is, and just because another company sells a scope for $3,500, doesn't mean it's not actually just as good as that $7,000 scope.
