The difference in price and quality on optic's is astounding and until you've used one end of the sprectum back to back with the other end you would never believe the difference , i would love high end optic's but i don't have pockets deep enough......like buying Hifi as you head up the rrp's the difference in quality is hard to justify...and sometimes on rare occasions a product bucks the trend and is quite fantasic at a really good price.....scopes go from £30 to 3 or 4k.....my budget for what i consider good performance for a not too terrifying price is £400-£700 pounds but i will say i'm quite a traditionalist , not into mil dot or any other fancy reticles i like fixed mag for its simplicity and robustness but that just me...i've never had a pair of bino's that cost more than £150 but i do appreciate that the much dearer ones work closer to dusk and dawn than mine do but again i don't have deep enough pockets.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
