This question stems off the thread by 357smallbore about Tasco & Simmons.
Probable seen a question like this on here before but I haven't been here a year yet so here
goes.
I stand with the poor guys on a lot of my opinions because I was one for half my life so you know
where a lot of my thoughts come from.
Today's tv hunting & shooting programs & & even magazines all lean toward people with money,
not the REAL AVERAGE hunter & outdoorsman or woman.
Maybe I am in a low income area or not in touch with how many people have plenty of money
but I know about 90% of my friends don't own a scope over $250 because they simply can't
afford the Leupolds or other well known scopes.
At last count I have 9 Leupold scopes & 3 Nikons which aren't the $1000 size but more like the
$500 to $600 variety, which all work just fine & for the truth, I can't see why I would spend
$1000 to $1500 to get a scope that does the same thing as the ones I already have. No problems
with low light or anything else.
My question is,,, what can a $1000 Leupold give me that a $500 can't give me???
We have all heard this, the more you pay, the more you paid them for ADVERTISING.
I am not bashing Leupold, they are great to deal with for parallax changes, or any questions.
I can take any one of them & walk a clover leaf group which will stay on target all season.
