Thanks Aimless, that thread was surreal. After the Hide was basically called the playground of poseurs and some Hide member was bad mouthed and personally attacked he defended himself -- mildly -- and was banned for personally attacking the people who bad mouthed him by telling them they're wrong. I guess it was punishment for:
http://www.snipershide.com/shooting.../24407-counter-sniper-scopes-review-test.html Some games are rigged ahead of time and you just can't win.
Edit: For those who don't want to read it, and assuming I'm remembering correctly, the thread Aimless linked included a lot of support for CS scopes and claims they are GTG because someone shot 100 rounds with one and it held zero; not everyone is a fanboy on SH who has more money than knowledge and can afford crazy expensive scopes [note that Bushnell Tactical Elites, for example, get the general thumbs up here and some models are in the CS price range]; they are made in New York, not China; read reviews from people who have actually used a CS and not some idiots on the Hide who have never even used one and you'll learn CS are the real deal; and Counter Sniper scopes are as good as Nightforce.
And since I've never used a CS I'm just going to say that I've now learned that there are people who have done research and actually own a CS scope and think it is the dog's bollocks, so what do I know? YMMV
