To MichaelT: Your analogy of 95% to 5% is spot on. However there is a problem. The first few minutes of daylight, and the last few minutes of daylight are what constitutes the 5%. There is a difference in glass. And yes you are right, most good glass will perform 95% of the time. But my major concern is the other 5%. I would definitely go with the Swarovski.
Most people who argue about 30mm, and 1 inch scopes. And 40mm versus 50mm, versus 56mm, should study about optics. Each choice has it's pro's and con's. All my go to rifles carry Swarovski optics, and there truly is a good reason. Tom.
