Re: Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS
I think that like all things money is a relative thing. Like all things it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. There are people on this site that have more money in optics than I have in my entire collection. So someone may buy it, it won't be me but that doesn't mean it's completely off base. I guess what I'm saying is I'm tired of all the bitching lately by people about expensive tools/kit (leupold 1.1-8, MSR, ect...)if you think it's overpriced then don't buy it. Let your money do the talking. Sales dictate market which dictate pricing. I doubt snipershide is the primary target audience for this optic. The people that pushed and identified a need for an optic like this are not paying for the optic with their own personal paychecks. They're out there taking the fight to the enemy, not taking potshots at a manufacturer from behind a keyboard. If a manufacturer (or person) has ridiculous pricing then they will find themselves out of business. However just because something is extremely expensive doesn't mean that there is not a market for it. but last time i checked Leupold is a pretty healthy brand economically speaking. Sititunga for whatever reason hates leupold. I don't know if he thinks his rants will change peoples minds. But i've found in life that the person stomping their feet and shouting the loudest seldom say anything worth listening to.
