There is so much misinformation in this thread it’s not even funny. A 34mm tube has the same internal adjustment as a 30mm tube? Maybe on a Chicom special, but not any reputable scope. 6-10x cost to retail? Again maybe chicom garbage. I have a Nightforce manufacturing cost list, and they are not makin a killing off their scopes.

Bottom line is, non-plastic internals weigh more, it is what it is.
