Frankly, there are about 3 kinds of optics buyers.
There are people who rush out and buy a 3-9x30 blister pak optic and are amazed by the deal they got then struggle with eye relief, forehead scars, zeroing, missing game, etc.
Then there are people who buy in hook, line and sinker that you have to spend $1000 or you don't have crap.
Then there is a relatively small group who really thinks through how they shoot and what they need based on that.
The first group sees no value in a 6x30 for $200. It is not as cool as a 3-9 for $40. The second group sticks their noses up to anything under $800 or so. Only an honest #3 grouper can say, "I hunt 0-300 yard deer. I never shoot under 50 yds. I won't take a shot over 350. I judge trophies with my binos. Yea, it would be great to have a compact 6x on my 257 Roberts deer rifle. Wow! What a nice light deer rifle."
