In dense woods with lots of shadow, low light, and hours on glass, you really start to see how optics differ. As Sparky said, if you see no difference for your uses, awesome; but others using the optic under different circumstances might see things differently, literally. I get the same question often on AR15s: why pay $3,000 for one when you can pay $800 for almost the exact same thing. This is somewhat true. And if you will be shooting 100 rounds/year, you'll see little difference. If you ever put 2,000 rounds through both in a day, the differences become obvious really quick. No one is saying you aren't seeing what you are seeing, we are simply pointing out that circumstances of use (and abuse) often make differences more obvious. |
I just built an AR-15 for my daughter. I bought it a part at a time. I purchased nothing but the best available parts. It cost every bit as much as the other high-end ARs that are sold already assembled. It shoots every bit as well as any AR on any range. I guess my point is, you can get an AR now for around $500 -$600. But it's going to be a 4 to 5 MOA rifle rather than a 1/4 - 1/2 MOA rifle.
