Why is it that astronomers probe the deepest heavens with reflecting telescopes, and we aim our rifles with heavy, expensive refracting models like a bunch of suckers? And don't tell me "it's because reflecting telescopes invert the image," not all of them do. Is it a scaling issue? The pervasive design conservatism of the firearms industry? What's the deal?
