I'd agree with a lot of what's written here...
I've got some lovely older scopes (Tasco TR, Jap platinum Nikkos, B&L era Jap made Bushnells and Philippines made crinkle finish WTC Simmons) and they're all excellent scopes with bright glass - but unappreciated by many because they all use the old school duplex reticles...any many of today's shooters want mil-dots, half mil-dots, AMX et al.
