Maybe because at 34 my eyes are good enough that, to me, some clarity and brightness isn’t worth the extra coin.
Side by side by side shooting
SWFA 12x
SWFA 10x
SWFA ultralight 2.5-10
Leupold vx3i 3.5-10
Some brick of a Leica illuminated 2.5x10x50
Leica was bright and clear as hell, but I didn’t have a problem seeing what I was shooting with any of em.
Wtf is a brick of a Leica??
I had a 1x4 that was oozing grease out of the erector housing when brand new. Sent it back and it was replaced no problem. I have another that has seen I’d guess 3-4K of 223 and 762x39 via AR, and another that has seen id say 15k ish of semi auto .22 with no issues
