I agree, to a point... There is much better glass out there for similar money. There is also "similar" glass out there for less money (No it is not in the $200 class scopes!) NF is sooo popular, most guys think they are the answer to everything (I want to die everytime I hear "you can't go wrong with a NF"). Not everyone needs a four wheel drive vehical & not everyone needs a heavy duty scope. Understanding what you will use the scope for & what the "specialties" each scope provides should be known before one decides what scope he/she "needs".
Don't get me wrong. NF reputaion was earned and they are one he!! of a tool. As I said in my previous post, they are decent glass (well, I should say they are good glass, it's just not "good" when compared to the other $1600 class glass) but they are the best mechanically. It's not about the glass for some, a scope is so much more than just an optic. It's just that not all people will ever NEED a scope built as tough, for those, there are lighter, brighter, smaller, bigger, & even cheaper options (NO THEY ARE NOT ALL QUALITIES WRAPPED INTO ONE SCOPE, each scope has seperate qualities & built as such)).

The re-sale value on them is pretty good.
Lots of folks like them.
