My main hunting rifles have scopes that would be considered "Alpha". I don't "need" them but why does that matter, I can afford them and I like them. They sure don't hurt anything.
I probably spent less on those two scopes than most here spend on rims and speakers for their pickups.
Nobody "needs" an Alpha scope. Nobody needs to eat a good ribeye or needs to hunt either for that matter. I have them because I like them and I earned the money to buy them, that's all the reasons I need.
