This.

I think the reason so many confuse the two are they have little actual experience hunting, and none gun fighting....



To borrow a term from my 10 year old, that's Captain Obvious, and has been my thought process all along.

If my priority is reliability, should I listen to a gun fighter whose survival is at stake or should I listen to a long range hunter who sales the scope he promotes and has no risk of survival?


Again, "Captain Obvious" how many gunfights do you intend to be in with said scope vs how many long range hunts?

Combat reliability/precision and hunting reliability/precision are not necessary the same.

If you buy a combat precision optic, you're probably overpaying for reliability you'll never, ever use.
