Why are more expensive scopes so much brighter at high power?

[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2902500, member: 116181"] I get it, I have six of the VX-5HDs mounted on a pretty diverse group of rifles. I've found that scope is reliable, decently priced, and works good enough. Doesn't mean I won't put my Tangent on whatever the Gucci rifle of the moment is, but the stable exists for a reason. Currently is 30-06, 6.5-284, 338 Federal, 243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and a 30-06 soon to be 25 Gibbs 😬 I can grab any of them and go, no questions asked. There isn't a prairie dog, racoon, coyote, or hog safe when any of them are around, but the 338 Federal does like to lob rocks a little higher than the rest. The MPBR on the 243 is unreal with a lightweight mono, basically removes ranging from the situation. There's something to be said for them all running the same. I do it with triggers too, all single stage and it's rare a 2-stage darkens the door of my safe. [/QUOTE]
