44 pages and still no kumbaya moment. Too bad. These sorts of discussions always go like this. The Night Force guys telling Leupold guys their equipment sucks. Go to another form and it's the Tangent Theta guys telling Night Force owners their equipment is for trailer-park-poor-candy-asses. So why bother.
You are right and I should just quit. I actually don't really like being this childish but it has been fun.
The bottom line question I have asked that never gets answered and instead just draws either an insult or the sound of crickets is as follows.
If like myself and millions of other hunters east of the Mississippi you are:
A). hunting in a place where a shot longer than 300 yards is not possible and most shots will be much less than that thus negating the need for dialing or ballistic plex reticles
and
B). are bound by very specific legal daylight hours in which you can hunt. For example here it's 30 minutes before official sunrise until 30 minutes after official sunset
then what exactly can a 2000 to 3000 dollar scope offer you that you cannot do in the same hunting environment with a scope in the 550 to 800 dollar range.
It's a very simple question. I have never had trouble getting any scope in that price range (and some even cheaper) sighted in and having them hold zero. And the scopes in that price range will allow you to hunt past legal light. So what usable advantages am I getting for the extra cash? It's a simple question that never gets answered.
Simple1 I don’t live in a world where 300 yards is the ceiling.
2 I don’t need to keep up with the “Jones” they are trying to keep up with me!!! I don’t live on 5-800$ optics budgets.
3 I simply have broken a dozen Leupolds. They typically don’t last past 2500 rounds. Read that again. LOL.
If all a guy wants to do is hunt his 10 acres I’m sure a old friction 3-9x40 or fixed 6 would be perfect. But that would make him a novice that should probably not be given advice.
I go where ever I can get a tag. Kill four months a year and don’t have time for gear I don’t trust!!!
4, The 1550$ Nightforce will work inside 300 and way the Fûck past 300 as to the Leupold set and forget good luck.
The vx5 costs more than I would spend on glass that I have found to fail time and again.
One things for sure if anyone doesn’t agree with you. Telling everyone you watch gay porn (documentaries) will definitely convince them. LMFAO.
Headed to the range. And No a single target will be under 500. 😂😂😂
PS willto your 30 minutes before and after delusions are worth a laugh, mechanicals matter more than glass and always have.
There’s your answer buttercup!
