Maybe more clear communication and less "hinting" would be a more effective way to get a point across - but heck I've been married more than 25 years and clear communication is pretty challenging there some days too.
We are in a golden age of scopes for people with lots of money and folks with just a little money. The fact that for $249 you can buy a VX2 3x9x40 that has better glass and as accurate adjustments as a vari-x III that would have cost that or more just 10 years ago and be backed by terrific customer service for the next 25 years is just great. The new players like Vortex Nightforce, Trijicon, along with good inexpensive scopes by NIKON, Sightron, Weaver Burris, etc with good warranties and cheaper Euro name brand scopes like the Zeiss Conquest and Terra are huge improvements over what was available a short while ago even if the were mod. Lifetime guarantees on scopes that sit on rifles with MOA guarantees can be assembled for less than $800 easily - not true 20 years ago in those dollars and maybe not today
