Frank,

I understand your consternation at the Zeiss prices — even after the hefty discount. But the fact remains that plenty of people in this country still seem to have plenty of money. EuroOptics.com reported they sold out of the first batch of S&B 12.5-50X scopes at well over three grand. There are plenty of the rich safari guys who’ve got a $2000.00+ scope on top of their $6000 engraved rifle, plus a $2500.00 spotting scope, and $2200+ Geovids. This option puts the rangefinder inside the scope, eliminating one piece of expensive gear.

WELL one thing is for sure, even a price drop of nearly $1500 is not going to create a line at your neighborhood..how many working class people, with the economy th eway it is are going to buy $2500 hunting scope..no one I know..completely out of control for the average Joe Hunter…I’ll just use my $100 Bushnell yardage pro, my $199 Leupold scope and the animal will be just as dead..this stuff should not even be shown on this site..we are not corporate CEOs..thank GOD for that..$4000.00 for a scope, Please !!

I would assure you there would not be a line to buy any scope for $4000.00 and I can assure that the line would and will not be any longer at nearly $2500.00… times such as they are and the economics of the world I wonder how much demand there will be for a hunting scope that can do all this.. I assure no one that I know of will be buying one at either price.. especially to go hunting with.
