How many people are going to spend $100.00 for a set of flip-up lens caps for $200 ~ $300 scopes? My guess is not many. If he went into volume production for those type scopes I think he'd be stuck with a lot of very nice flip-up lens caps that he couldn't sell.
I'm sure Jon will be heartbroken that his efforts, very successful efforts, are a real "yawner" for you.
lol
Because all 3-9X40ish scopes only cost $2-300... Similarly, while the percentage of purchasers will be lower, there's so many more out there that I still think he'd up sales volume. I pretty sure he could sell more to guys with 40mm objective Leupolds than all the 72mm obj scopes every sold! So, until he makes something I'd buy it'll be a yawner...
