Yeah not $650 scopes is my main point. Probably should’ve included that. Anyway, $650 8x erector. Hard pass.
I hear this for the first time — that an 8x erector is a liability if done for $650 street price. — (Just proves my ignorance, nothing else.)
Would you help me understand what the most critical issues are with a large magnification ratio that would require more $$ in order to be done well?
(I understand the challenge of the reticle being too thin/ too thick in an FFP.)
Is the effect of recoil a major factor — as 8x ratio is more sensitive than say a 4x?
Thank you!
