You gun guys waste a fuckton on optics. I have a table top telescope that shows the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, Jupiter's great spot, rings of Saturn, and it cost $250 with a super stable tripod and red dot spotter. I'm careful with it but even with getting banged up its perfectly fine and spotting sight is perfectly zeroed after like 5 years. Why do you guys put so much emphasis on rigidity and durability on intermediate cartridges, and for guns that realistically, are handled and treated like the safe queens they really are. Hurr Durr toss in mud and still holds zero out to your momma's house
Explain yourselves without compensating or sounding like a wannabe spec ops commando
tube of jb weld, a shit rusty old hammer, and a spare length of mlok pic rail doesn't cost much. the optics are probably obtained at a special operationally operating operator discount

It's really apples to oranges my dude

Amateur astronomy is super boring... Telescopes only exist to spy on the neighbors... If scopes didn't have to have adjustable cross hairs, it would be a fair comparison. >60x bench rest scopes are like $400 which are more comparable

Begone scopelet >for real though nice scope, have you taken any photos through it?
I'll take your bait. First answer is weapon optics have to be designed to handle the recoil impulse of the weapon for god-knows-how-many rounds. Second is most people with those optics would rather have the durability and not need it than need the durability and not have it, kindof like having a gun in the first place
Go and shake your telescope really hard a bunch, throw it around the room. None of that cheap ass refractor or reflector shit, do it to one of your cassegrain types and come back and tell us how it's doing. Try it with a $1000+ too, because if it costs that much, it must be the bestest.

have been out of the telescope game for a long time. Last I remember Meade was quality, but I am guessing it's all chinese shit now?

Because it straps to the gun and works. What the fuck is the point of a gun that can't aim?
