“Glass”, is entirely overrated in riflescopes. They’re aiming devices.... not observation devices. The clarity and resolution needs to be good enough for steering bullets.... not counting gnat nuthairs. I think VX2 level glass is a good comparison to the Classic Fixed SS scopes.... and that’s more than adequate for all my hunting needs. The HD series has excellent glass, and is noticeably better than the classics.
I’ve been shooting 10x and 12x Super Snipers since LONG before they became popular here.... and long before the advent of the Mil-Quad reticle. I’ve used them all over the West, including a lot of time in PNW rainforests.... and I’ve never wanted/needed “better glass”.
Exactly!
