Optics have come a long, long way since Y2K. The advances in combat optics have been so fast and furious they can be hard to keep up with. Today's shooter is faced with such a staggering variety of choices in power, reticle, features and mission applications that it can lead to "paralysis by analysis." Unfortunately many shooters don't have access to the available models, and it is hard to form a useful judgment until the optic has been shot for a while. Worse, the entry price for top-shelf optics often nears or exceeds the rifle, so the penalty for a bad choice is steep. The initial decision is usually based on what zoom range is needed. My thoughts based upon a few years behind many of the leading-edge models might help with your decision.
