[QUOTE="iiiNelson, post: 2823695, member: 113766"] My opinion is that for pure clarity and minimal chromatic aberration the Kowa scopes with fluorite lenses (meaning the 55/88/99mm scopes) are the highest image resolving scopes from a lab standpoint on the market but you can’t go wrong with Swarovski, Zeiss, or Leica either. The 77mm uses Schott lenses. A lot depends on what you’re looking for and I’m speaking as a person that can afford all of the above… not from a value point of view. Again at this level you can’t go wrong but confirmation bias is a thing too. IMO the Vortex scopes don’t really compare to the alpha glass but it’s not to say that they are not great values. The goal and materials just was never intended to be on par with the best of the best so compromises are bound to happen somewhere. If an individual doesn’t see the difference then save the money I guess. [/QUOTE]
