High end optics EE

[Alpheus]

I was bored, so did a quick survey of the fancy scopes exchange.

Lots of Trijicon, mostly LPVOs from ARs, go figure.
Lots of Swarovski binos and spotters.
Strong showing from USO.

All those PRS competitors using Vortex sure are idiots, eh?

 

[mikeelliot]

Did you happen to track the average asking price? Just curious.

 

[marshall]

Which section do you put the fake ones?

 

[BigRobb]

Thought I saw at least one tangent theta on the ee. Maybe even two...

 

[big bear]

I am sure I saw 2 Tangent Thetas, one was at great price, sold like "right now!"

You mean the sponsored shooters. Vortex is not high end, just high priced.

I would think used sales quantities would be more of a reflection of a manufacturers time in the marketplace, their percentage of market share, rapidly evolving features desirable to competition and government regulatory changes than any quality issues.
Some of these brands have been around forever so it’s inevitable that some would be up for sale.
Some have sold so much volume that you know used sales will result from impulse purchasing.
Look at how fast various rifle disciplines have evolved...a high end scope 2-3 years ago is easy to be talked into replacing for the newest kid on the block.
And as fast as the Liebrals started their sh#t many people have put up some rather expensive optics for obvious reasons.
What I get a kick out of is this is the first forum based on elitism...I would have bet it would have been shotguns first...
Who knew optic snobs were the leader of the pack, lol...

 

[nomad 68]

What.......no king optics or scorpion? Lol

Nah, just a quick survey, didn't even open each thread.

Bored again. Drop in overall ads, NF helped by one fella selling 4 of 'em. Mid-range stuff like Leopold/Bushnell/Zeiss still there, but less higher end like Swarovski or S&B

Bushnell and Vortex might be high end in an alberta trailer park, but on what has become an international forum, this is a big stretch.

A Vortex crossfire isn’t the same as a Vortex Razor. Bushnell has a similar brand range. Ignoring this is the same as talking down about a certain ethnic group because your pool boy’s tight shorts distracted your present trophy wife.

Do you have any experience with, or time behind Vortex Razor AMGs or the Bushnell Elite Tac models like the XRS2 or DMR2 Pro?

Who decides what "high end" is? This designation cannot be based solely on price, as we have seen with King optics, Quigley, Huskemaw etc. that high price does not = better.
