I suddenly realized how much money I've spent on optics in the last two weeks and figured out why people still buy the cheap stuff...

For my SPR AR clone I got a Leupold 4.5-14x40 Tactical with shade and a LaRue SPR mount

For my FN A3G SPR I got a Leupold 6.5-20 Mk 4 LR/T with the illuminated Mil-Dot and Leupold Mk 4 rings

For my 14.5" M4A3 upper I got an Aimpoint ML3 with mount (the EoTech 512 currently on it is going on an upper for my M11/9)

For my Ruger 10/22 project I got an Elite 3200 3-9x50

Picked up a NIB XOTIC USS 4-16x56 from someone who bought it but never used it; I have one of these on my AR-50 and it was a good deal for a second one. Not quite sure what I'll be doing with it yet.

And for no apparent reason I bought a Super Sniper 20x42 in the SWFA frenzy yesterday

I really don't want to add this up...

Until you replace all those with Zeiss, Kahles & Swavorski (sp?), you're skimping!!!!!

The Zeiss Conquest line is surprisingly affordable.

Hell, I cannot afford to spell "Zeiss", much less buy one!
