I guess not enough of us bought them when they still marketed them. I lucked onto a used straight six Meopta here on the classifieds...after hunting with it one season, I can say comfortably that I could convert my whole damn inventory to something like that. I just don't need a variable in the country I hunt, I don't need big clickety click knobs, I don't need nautical twilight lenses, I would run hard to avoid anything illuminated, 100 yard parallax works goodenuff for me. I'm glad the long shooting became popular...it raised the bar on optics, bullets, precision...we all benefited to a lesser degree, but too bad the sales people blew right on by what I would call basic workhorse optics.
