[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2551696, member: 37460"] I agree. But I also have tons of experience with marginal and high quality optics. I’ve got a fantastic Pentax pack scope with a very high quality eye piece. Does the job 75% of the time. It however struggles as compared to my $1500 used Swarovski I have. Environment conditions to environment conditions it’s just not as good. I see this all the time. Almost as good is NOT as good! Especially early morning, late afternoon, and middle day when it’s warm and dealing with the heat waves you can experience with Western hunting. My Antelope hunt last year is a prime example, My son in law had my Pentax, I had my Swaro, my pal had his Razor, everyone kept looking through the Swarovski as the other couldn’t handle the heat waves in the middle of the day, or the early morning or late afternoon. When you buy a 500 scope, you get exactly that, a 500 scope!! Can he stumble onto some ridiculous deal, sure. You get what you pay for in optics. [/QUOTE]
