I agree with what you are saying Ted and now it looks like they have just about every size and configuration and price point covered pretty darn well. Frankly, with the previous Conquest line, I never really understood why they made a 2.5-8 with a 32mm obj and a 1.8-5 with a 38mm obj. I think the 2.5-8 would have been better off with a 36mm and put a 32mm on the 1.8-5.

However, if the 2.5-10X42 didn't sell very well, then in spite of how much I really like that config, I wouldn't go so far as to say they screwed up. If the move was based on poor sales, then I'd do the same if I were them. The decision to keep or discontinue any item isn't usually based solely on the merits of said item; it's almost always based on sales volume. |
