That’s fine if you don’t think you need a $2,500+ optic with a specific reticle for the way you shoot. Bully for you.
I do, period.
I need a massive field of view on low power to see the targets in transition and move to them fast without messing with my zoom.
I need a fantastic parallax that’ll run across a wide field without adjustment, because I’m not going to have time to fool with that either.
I need awesome clarity for late in the day when there’s less light, no paint left on the targets, and they’re invisible to the naked eye.
I need X24+ power because there are stages out to 1,500 yards where I do use it. I may stay on 9-14X 95% of the time but on the really far stages I like being able to make the target bigger than a speck.
In short, I find myself maxing out on all the features of a top end scope, and wanting more. I’m just not willing to go double for just a little better (TT).
It all relative, but if you want to compete with the best marksmen on the planet you need good gear, and yea, it’s really expensive.
I kill deer with a SS, .30-06, A-bolt with a Burris Signature Series bought new by me 25+ years ago. I paid more than a grand for that scope that long ago.
To me $2,500 is middle of the road. Perspective.
