I didn’t bring up the whole “military grade” thing.... someone else did. I was simply using it to make a point.....

That point is: SWFA can make a 10x scope for $300 that can hang very well with some of the most expensive “military grade” Optics in the world. That’s fact, not simply my opinion. It’s been demonstrated repeatedly for years.... function, durability, reliability.... they take a backseat to very few scopes.

They may not be as refined, the “glass” may not be as good, they may not come with “pride of ownership’.... but when rounds start flying, they represent themselves quite well.

Again.... why can’t/won’t anyone else do the same?

Answer: They don’t have to.... they can produce a steaming pile of schitt, and sell it to your average “gun nut” in droves.... as long as they have some cool features and a good marketing department. 99.5% of people who buy scopes, would have no idea how their scope tracks, or returns to zero, or even stays “sighted in”. It’s easy to build a scope to those standards.... then have a “great warranty”.

You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
