[Vossman5]

There is a new batch of euro market forges that look promising prime glass like the elite series

You should consider expanding your book with information from a few dictionaries and thesauruses. There's a reason so many words exist... You should also work on recognizing bitching from statements of negative opinions...

You're taking the low part of the definition too literally, and applying it every listed attribute. To clarify for you, it's a moderate/low optical quality scope that's a low value at current prices. At the previous deep discounts it was a decent value, but not in the same league as the LRTS.

You should learn how to clearly state your opinions.
Something along the lines of: this is not a value at msrp.
Say that first, instead of four posts later and maybe there would be no question.

I wasn't replying to you, but, by all means, rock on.
To call Bushnell low quality and claim they used to be good is quite backwards from what most would say now.
They do, in fact, make some low priced, entry level optics, they also make some nice mid-range and some VERY good mid range optics in the 1200 - 1800 dollar range.

Bushnell is like vortex.....all their shit under $1k is cheap chicom garbage with some 3rd world asian thrown in.

The quality gear ( razor, ET)is a good value and has great mechanics at prices $1-2k.

All the profit is in peddling the cheap chicom shit, which affords them the luxury of making high end, lower margin goods sold at decent prices. In essense, the idiots buying chinese shit are subsidizing your quality gear costs.

Uhh... My first post in this thread said that...

You should work on dat der reading comprehension, and vocabulary, and general attitude...

In comparing a 2.5-15 Forge to a 4.5-18 LRTS, there is a noticeable difference in image quality. The LRTS is quite a bit better, with much better CA control and a larger eye box. At similar prices it's no comparison, at some of the past step discounts on the Forge it had value.
