I dont care if the discount is just for red headed step children. Why in the hell would you bash a company for discounting a procuct of any kind, of any quality, for any reason? To me this line of reasoning is just beyond comprehension. Me, I'll take the discount, 5% or 50%, any's better than none which is what you get from most.
okie
PS. I'd be interested in an answer to that side note too.

My two page comment was in reference to your underlined comment above. my original post was not refering to the media giving leupold free advertisements they would normally pay for (like . . . oh, i dont know, a two page ad in the paper!) and you refered to it as though it was. So obvisouly you were confused and since you cant even remember the comment you posted 30 minutes ago, your obviously still confused. You dont seem to understand how marketing works. Why does Peyton Manning get paid millions of dollars to wear a Reebok hat? Because reebok wants people to see pictures of Peyton Manning using their products. You dont think Scope manufacturers do the same thing? Since they cant pay the troops to use them, and the army doesnt give out leupolds to everyone like they do with aimpoints and acogs, Leupold needs to offer them discounted to the troops in order to get more in use, and thus more will be seen.
Now if you can understand that that is exactly how marketing works, you may finally see what im talking about. If not, youll say something else which wont make a whole lot of sense.
