In the years that I’ve been shooting rifles in the context of what we now call “precision rifle”, I have mostly been making my eyes accustomed to glass that some may consider average, sub-par or bargains. This article is not to take away from the merits and the values of these types of optics, but rather to discuss something that nearly all of us understand. Some products are, simply put, a cut above the rest. With this in mind, I’m going to discuss this upper tier model regardless of other tiers or styles of optics. Also, any comparisons made for reference in this article will be to optics within the same class, or above.
