I'm using a Kowa 82mm. I got it for highpower, and it was one of my last purchases. Should have been moved up. No, you won't get it for $100, and no, you probably don't really "need" it. I've realized that I take it out to the range almost every time I go, regardless of what rifle (or occasionally even for pistol) I bring out. As expensive as it was, comparing it to the amount of use I get from it, it's a lot cheaper than nearly all of my rifles in the long run. Same thing with muffs -- the ProEars are expensive, but I've gotten a LOT of use out of them, and they've performed in situations where other products wouldn't have. Besides if you don't like 'em, you can usually sell quality products for a large percentage of their original price fairly easily.
