I’ve heard that the swarovskis are good, but they also come with a hefty price tag. Unfortunately.

The price difference has shrunk hugely in the last couple of years. Swaros have come down and the street price of Nightforce went up when Dead Eye had the agency taken off him.

Just like the Schmidt and benders went up in price when dead eye took over nz distribution, haha

May I ask why ?
The only thing I can think of is weight

to my eye the picture is more clear, it was weight for the tops rifle and when I recently built a gong rifle I wanted the same scope on it. They dont inspire the same grunt proof robustness that a night force has though. Unfortunitly every scope is a compramise in some way
