Thread: Is it the end of the road for my Z5

well I wont spend huge $$$$ on a sccope...I simply can not justify it.... I dont dial,no interest in doing so as dont shoot past 300 very often at all... so I have simply leupolds on all my rifles. Im old enough to remember when a fixed power scope was considered more reliable than a vari power as there was less to go wrong,leak.let in moisture,crap out....NOTHING has changed about that...the more gizmos,the higher the chane of it failing.... as DannyB has said the nightforce might have reputation of being able to run over with truck or hammer in a nail...it comes at expence of weight and cost.
IF they bought out a fixed 4x with good field of view for $500 it would just about kill off a whole section of market and would be a true one scope for lifetime of rifle thing.
take scope back to shop...let them deal with it...it has failed under normal fair wear n tear....you shouldnt have to re pay to fix it.
