Very true. But you have to keep in mind companies like IOR first came here offering oddball stuff and now they are offering scopes with the features people are asking for for a decent price, and although people hate on them their newest models don't seem to be going tits up in droves like the older ones did. There's nothing that says Steiner can't listen to the market here too.
That being said if I ever had that much $$$$ to blow on a scope (say 2500-3k) it would be a S&B, period. I've used them and IMO they do everything right and are the benchmark for higher dollar tactical scopes and I think that's the main problem with steiner making a high dollar scope; not only does it have the "wrong" features it doesn't say S&B on the side of it. I could be wrong but I think their initial models may be a hard sell.
