Thanks for the info.
Just to clarify for my understanding... the 3-15x is made in the same plant as the old fixed power scopes. The 3-9x and HD (including 10x HD) are made in another plant in Japan, some speculate that its L.O.W.
Are you saying that one plant makes tougher scopes than the other? You can get the mil-quad in both lines of scopes.
I've been personally informed by other insiders that the fixed power scopes and 3-15x are without a doubt tougher than the 3-9x and HD scopes. This isn't to say that the 3-9x and HD scopes are not strong enough.
Now, I don't know the reason why the one plant builds a tougher scope... design, QC, spec? Don't know but if you have the info I appreciate your thoughts.
And what is the difference between wearing a scope out and breaking it? Slow degradation vs. catastrophic failure?
Thanks,
Jason
