Thread: Whats Happening in the Scope Manufacturing World .... ?

A question for those better informed than I.

Seems that most of the ( Euro at least) scope manufacturers are moving away from 1" in favour of larger diameter tubes, and most of the larger diameter units are heavier ( even if only marginally so) and obviously bulkier than the 1" models?

So where does a Kiwi who is mindful of weight/size but still wants a top-end scope look? What am I missing here?
