If a non shooter were to hang out here, they might come to these conclusions.
If you don't use German glass - you'll burn in Hell
If you use German glass - you'll burn in Hell
Austrian glass is better, but don't tell the Germans because they invented scope Hell
If you use Leopold - you won't burn in Hell, but nobody is impressed. Kinda like having a 5 1/2" schwantz. "I'm sure it does the job just fine, but so what?"
If you don't use a scope with a 30mm tube, then you will burn in Hell for not having enough adjustment
If you think that tube diameter is all that important - you will burn in Hell
Anyone who can't use Mil Dot - you should burn in Hell
Post and crosshairs are fine for a little deer rifle, but you need to spend weekends in Hell because you live in the 1950's
If you have an illuminated reticle, you are gay and should burn in Hell
If you don't have an illuminated reticle, then you live in the 1950's and need to go to Hell on weekends with the P & C guys.
All Tasco, Simmons, etc. scopes are worthless trash not even fit for Hell - except the ones made in Japan that have been in use for 20 -30 years without any issues at all. They are anomolies which prevents scope infidels from getting German glass and obtaining 72 virgins in paradise
If you don't use a 16 x 1000 "Tactical scope - you should burn in Hell
If your scope does not have multiple knobs that 2" tall and fun to spin - prepare for Hell.
Any Objective less than 50 mm must be explained or off to Hell.
Fixed power scope - 1950's Hell
Scopes that retail for more than $1500 are Hell proof. They still break, but you won't burn in Hell if they do.
