Thread: Are we on the wrong 'No.1" criteria when scope buying?

What people in this forum do not do is comparing scopes of the same class - scopes of similar price, weight, and magnification.

People in this forum tend to be hunters and weekend shooters. I know of not a single frequent poster who compete at the top level. So, for most people here, having access to several (mid to high end) scopes of the same class is simply too hard.

I get to look through and compare a large amount of high-end scopes as well as set them up and shoot them.
I'm not shooting comps at the moment but have done my share in the early days of longrange comps.
I am definitely more inclined to go for optics that do not need to use the elevation correction factor in the apps and are repeatable and can take a knock and not worried about Poi shift.
If it's getting to last light I just clip on my Nv007s and your good to go!
