What Tract did by cutting out the middle man keeps the cost down. I remember my first NF NXS 8-32x was $1150 back in the day. Optic prices have soared over the last few years. I think about what some brands cost and I think they are insane. For a little more money I'll just get a S&B. I just purchased a Vortex AMG though their LE program. Even with a discount they bumped up their MSRP so much its barely worth it. I wanted to keep the weight down on my Vudoo Rifles V22 thats on the way.
