Manufacturers in this day and age use an acronym, "MVP," which stands for "Minimum Viable Product." In other words, at what price point can I add this product in the market to meet the minimum customer expectations, while selling enough to keep the lights on and at the same time seeing a return on my investment.

I don't know anything about the scope and optics business, but I'm pretty sure no one expects a $300 scope to hold up and track as well as a $3k scope - nor should we expect it to.


This is the optics forum, there'll be no logic in the optics forum!
