I debated posting because of the arrogant comments sure to come from a few.
For guys like me who still hunt whitetail deer in the SE, dialing often doesn’t matter. Most guys I know never shoot beyond 200 yards.
“Real world” means in the outdoors looking at wildlife and leaves rustling in the breeze, not standing in a store trying to gauge how well a scope will fit your needs.
Yes, to me the characteristics of the glass matter most in higher end scopes as long as they hold zero. The only real issue I’ve had with a higher end scope failing was the reticle turning in a Leica ER. They sent me a new scope.
I hope all of you have a great weekend.
That’s great that your scopes suit your needs. Your post just came off in such a way that inferred glass quality was all that matters and that things like drop durability and tracking were unimportant in the “real world”. I, and most others here, would ardently debate that point.
