Always interesting to hear from people like Savage 99, who've never used a modern 10x scope, offer an opinion on their field worth. Of course you could say that about a lot of his opinions on scopes, bullets, cartridges, etc.

Some of us who have used both older and new stuff understand how stuff changes over time. I still use a lot of older rifles and scopes, partly because I like to and partly because it helps me understand why so many people formed some of their opinions years ago. Though some of Savage 99's opinions remain a mystery.
