Rifle Scopesupper tier scope construction: what is given up in lightweight scopes?
When comparing higher end scope construction, what makes a lighter scope lighter? What parts/components/assembly is ommitted? For example; AMG 6-24 vs. ATACR 5-25. Is the NF any more rugged/ durable due to construction, or is that a fallacy?
Harleys are made of pig iron and steel and are stupid heavy giving up performance. Ducatis are built of alloys and are light as hell and give up nothing on strength but perform far better than most.
Weight difference you see between the AMG and ATACR...the AMG is a 30mm tube....NF is a 34mm tube...NF is known to run thicker tubes as well for durability...also you are increasing the weight of the optical system inside just a bit...this is the same trend with Steiner, S&B, ZCO and others...
There are a lot of oz chaser ninjas out there...I particularly do not pay attention too much once I step into high mag optics...I care more about capability and its ability to withstand my SCAR 20...
