Negativity on OUR forum and attacks on people for just trying to help others is sad to say the least.
I'll say some extra prayers for you this Sunday at church and send positive vibes your way. Hope your chi trends to the positive side. God Bless
The only person making this personal is you, then you play the victim. Sad. My guess is you are mad about the things from the Colorado thread where you also got upset. It's funny to watch but also sad, especially as you make comments about sending prayers and what not but whined about making this personal. Ironic and funny. In the end it's easy to see you were offended by something I said and took comments about hunters not being educated on optics personally, then got upset, and now are playing the victim while doing your best to instigate with good vibes and chi trends. Keep up the great work but it's easy to see through the act.
The funniest part was claiming the Vortex Razor was "entry level" as you got it mixed up with viper and now won't own it while on a sarcastic rant about hunters being dumb. You proved my point without even knowing it. Thanks.
What's even worse is that these other companies don't even make all the optics they sell, even though people like yourself are obviously very tied to certain brands. There are 3-4 huge foreign manufacturers who make most binoculars regardless of brands. That's why you see so many small run private label binos showing up like Tract, Maven, and Theron.
Tract toric is another bino worth considering for hunters who aren't afraid to venture beyond the big 3.
The reason birders know so much about binos is they own dozens of pair and use them year round. They do side by side comparison and spend hours agonizing over every minute detail, spec, and eye cup. Hunters talking optic are like teenage boys talking about sex, they kinda get it but not really. Birders and Star gazers are simply more educated when it comes to optics, if you read their forums you notice immediately how much different the discussions are. All hunters do is recommend the brand they have and get upset if anyone claims there are better choices. Every hunter thinks they got great glass for the money. Essentially exactly what you said in your posts, aside from the last one where you over obviously having a little meltdown.
Thanks for the entertainment and if you have time do some research, there are a lot of great optics out there beyond Vortex.
Another funny misconception hunters have on optics is that Swaro scopes are the best ever. In reality the difference in spotters is in the eye pieces, not the body. As far as glass if you look at photography lenses and optics that make Swaro scopes look like pocket change. And they are also brands like pentax, fujinon, arri, dallmeyer, canon, kowa, takahashi, etc.. There are many Fujinon lenses that are over 50k and some over 200k. But you will never hear fujinon optics discussed on a hunting forum.
