Getting back to the original question, there are three clear reasons why someone may choose Alpha Glass.

1. Brightness, clarity, and depth of view.
2. Low light visibility.
3. Reliability.

If you can afford Alpha Glass and it makes you happy, then that is one of life's little pleasures for you to enjoy. It is definitely optional equipment though, not mandatory at all.

Owning a high-end scope does not make you a better marksman or hunter. It lets you see a bit better to some degree than lesser glass. Except for super-low light conditions, it is
doubtful you would miss a kill shot with a lesser scope. And if you can't see hogs in low light with the scope you have now and you want that extra 15-30 minutes extra hunting time,
is it worth the $2000 extra it costs to have that?


My next scope will be a S&B Polar. Not because I need it, but because I want it. I want one because nice glass makes me happy and I look forward to using it.
