If a non shooter were to hang out here, they might come to these conclusions.  If you don't use German glass - you'll burn in Hell If you use German glass - you'll burn in Hell Austrian glass is better, but don't tell the Germans because they invented scope Hell If you use Leopold - you won't burn in Hell, but nobody is impressed. Kinda like having a 5 1/2" schwantz. "I'm sure it does the job just fine, but so what?" If you don't use a scope with a 30mm tube, then you will burn in Hell for not having enough adjustment If you think that tube diameter is all that important - you will burn in Hell Anyone who can't use Mil Dot - you should burn in Hell Post and crosshairs are fine for a little deer rifle, but you need to spend weekends in Hell because you live in the 1950's If you have an illuminated reticle, you are gay and should burn in Hell If you don't have an illuminated reticle, then you live in the 1950's and need to go to Hell on weekends with the P & C guys. All Tasco, Simmons, etc. scopes are worthless trash not even fit for Hell - except the ones made in Japan that have been in use for 20 -30 years without any issues at all. They are anomolies which prevents scope infidels from getting German glass and obtaining 72 virgins in paradise If you don't use a 16 x 1000 "Tactical scope - you should burn in Hell If your scope does not have multiple knobs that 2" tall and fun to spin - prepare for Hell. Any Objective less than 50 mm must be explained or off to Hell. Fixed power scope - 1950's Hell Scopes that retail for more than $1500 are Hell proof. They still break, but you won't burn in Hell if they do. Did I miss anything?

Not all cyber bullies are in their teens?
There are lots of close-minded people who are so arrogant as to truly believe that their way is the only way?
Rude behavior is common?

Where's TAK? Oh, forgot about the distant relative in law with 40,000 confirmed kills as a Marine sniper. He can dial a shooting solution to a falling meteor.

If you're binocular doesn't say Zeiss, Leica, or Swarovski, you can't see squat. There is no way in hades' that a $600 glass can see and do everything a $2000 glass can do.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Fabulous observation! I probably won't kill anything with my poor Leupold VX-3's either.

Well lets see!
50mm objective - check
30mm tube -- check
Turrets -- check
Mil-dot -- check
$1500.00 dollars -- real close but no cigar! pergatory for me
German -- no check, but Japan so I'm not going to hell
No illuminated reticle -- hell on the weekends, pergatory the rest of the time!

Hatari: Here is the most often repeated fallacy that I see the "know it all's" post here-on: No Leupold scope can/will provide a "full eye-box"!
This baseless and laughable rumor is repeated here so often that i fear some innocents will actually believe it.
Pretty good list you have already.

you missed a helluvalot (and for that you will burn in Hell)
you failed to say anything good about old school Weavers and Redfields... so you are gonna burn in Hell fer sure til you fix that...
and how could you forget to mention the nuance of certain >>>insert name here<<< bases and rings that just look right on rifle "X" but not on rifle "Y"!!!

Who has just one binocular?
Bushnells are better than Swarovskis, especially if hunting 1951 USAF Resolution Charts and broken off bits of dink antler.
