I used to work in a retail store (I'll tell you why I got fired in a bit) and I couldn't tell the difference between a Vari-XII and a $2,000 Zeiss!
The post above is a perfect example of what I stated before.
How can you compare the quailty of a scope...any scope in a retail store?
Most...ahhhhh.....nah... everyone of my hunts havent been in a retail store under good lighting. If that was the case a good ol Tasco would do!
All these good ol boys need to get out in the field (and out of Billy Bob's Sportman's Paridise and Bait Shop)and do some side by side comparisons before they say such things , just my opinion though.
