Those extremely highend scopes are fine for people who wish to allocate their resources that way. I prefer to have different things and A higher retirement account balance. To each his own.
I was out at 1000 yard range last week with my 50 BMG and it's walmart centerpoint 4-16x $69 scope. I handload my rounds to only about 10,000 foot pounds. Even with a muzzle brake, my shoulder just can't take much more than that. Guess I'm somewhat past 400 rounds now or maybe just 300, wow those primers are expensive, but the scope is just doing fine. I've now got the same scope on three or four different rifles, and except for the fact that it doesn't have a way to instantly recognize how many turns of the turret you're up, it is a great scope. At least for people like me.
