Maybe Mikey will loan us the grocery getter to head to the PNW. Me and Mathman feel like we were just attacked. It just better not be Coors Light of some domestic brew you can get anywhere.
š¦« Me too . I ā„ļø my Miller Lite.

Anyone got an example on why running top shelf scope glass is an advantage?
Go
š¦« Getting back to the original question, there are three clear reasons why someone may choose Alpha Glass. 1. Brightness, clarity, and depth of view. 2. Low light visibility. 3. Reliability. If you can afford Alpha Glass and it makes you happy, then that is one of life's little pleasures for you to enjoy. It is definitely optional equipment though, not mandatory at all. Owning a high-end scope does not make you a better marksman or hunter. It lets you see a bit better to some degree than lesser glass. Except for super-low light conditions, it is doubtful you would miss a kill shot with a lesser scope. And if you can't see hogs in low light with the scope you have now and you want that extra 15-30 minutes extra hunting time, is it worth the $2000 extra it costs to have that? My next scope will be a S&B Polar. Not because I need it, but because I want it. I want one because nice glass makes me happy and I look forward to using it. Nothing wrong with being happy about something. Optic, rifle, or hunting dog...Wife maybe, too. šš¼š¦«

Out of 10 rifles all have Leupold scopes. Four 4x, one 6x, two 2.5x8, and one 3x9 all with the post & duplex reticle. I have a 3x Big Bore with the HD and a 3.5x10 with the standard duplex. I lose the reticles before the scopes are too dim to see through. I use a B&L Discoverer 7x42mm binocular that I can use after the scopes aren't useable. A safe and humane shot is more important than a trophy to me. YMMV. Dave, my man ! You just dropped a turd in this alpha scope glass thread by mentioning Leupold. Gloves coming off...Whereās Jud ? Leupold in the house. š¤£š¦«

How big a boy are you? You realize Iām 5ā 8 1/2ā and 165#? Not so fast, thereās still this Coors Light trash talking. A guy can only take so much. Iām checking Mathmans schedule. Someone insult someone's wife. Or Kid. Or favorite bullet.
Anything but their favorite optic, as that just wouldn't be proper in the optics forum.
GFYs all around.
Bitches... BAM, from the top rope with a chair! Thanks Beav, this whole thread is quite weird in this forum. No ones on the road to kick someone elseās ass, nothingā¦. Feels offā¦. Bring it you punk-ass, cross eyed, taint washer. šš¦«

If, no....Why not ? I had several VX6 non hd scopes. Just have one left on Sako 243 Win yote rifle...I had good success with them in low light hunting conditions. š¦«

It isn't, most hunting is done with iron/peep sights on Sharps rifles or old original Winchester lever rifles, my top glass rides on defense and target rifles.

I knew you were gonna chime in with your little varmint rifles like the 50-90 and little stuff with buckhorn sightsā¦.. there is always one in the mix Next youāre going to tell us about knocking over bucks with some muzzleloader and little tiny irons like itās your jobā¦.

I just couldnāt keep from them turning into rattles on my Mashburn or 338. Like the old Indian said in the Outlaw Josey Wales, they arenāt for shooting, just for looking through
