[QUOTE="shooters, post: 2318740, member: 7769"] I personally “had” a hard time trusting optics that say Leupold, Vortex, Burris, Bushnell, Athlon, Sightron, Maven, etc for the longest time. I do a lot of expensive and sometimes extreme hunts. So in my mind, it was hard for me to take $1000 and under optic on those hunts. A scope failure just wasn’t an option. So I’ve mainly stuck with NF, S&B, Swaro X5, Kahles “now” , and a few others. It’s a mind thing. BUT I honestly feel the gigs up with the high end optics. I constantly buy and try everything from low end Vortex up to that $3800 range. I don’t baby any of them and get to twisting and spinning on this and that. I just haven’t had any real issues with any. Today’s optics have really changed. The glass that comes with the VX5, Mark 5HD, Zeiss V4 ad V6, Maven, Vortex Razors and so on are so close to the top tier. We are literally arguing over the tiniest bits of Chromatic Aberration that it makes me giggle…or whether or not you could see a bullet hole at 17.43 miles vs the other at only 17.40 miles. I’ve gotten to the point now that I absolutely trust these “lower” end optics on what we’d call once in a lifetime hunts. They are just that good. [/QUOTE]
