I am in the market for a new scope. I have just about decided on the Nikon Monarch.
With a little research, the Chuck Hawks site says that eventually all scopes are prone to failure! (I think that its safe to say we all know that!)
Also, when speaking of scopes, we usually speak of "clarity!"
I know that some scopes ARE brighter than others, but it is almost safe to say that "except in shadowy conditions, just about ANY scope will give the clarity needed for a shot!"
What IS HARD to find, is "failure rates" and "scope life expecancy" comparisons! To me this is the big difference in scope prices!
I have had more than my share of scope failures for a lifetime!
Does anyone know of any hard-number comparisons for failure issues?
