The merits or otherwise of flocking or baffles in any scope is up to the individual person. What needs to be avoided IS FLOCKING in all scopes! These synthetic fiber materials are not stable, degrade over time, and shed their fibres over everything! These materials are a disaster for all scopes.
Now, again looking at scope manufacturers, NONE use flocking, but they do use baffles and good quality black matt paint, and use the appropriate primer if painting onto bare metal.
Les, that German material may be good, but no scope manufacturer is going to go with it. While that stuff may be good, there is no control over the glue used by people who stick the flocking to the inside of their scopes. The solvents in these glues are one of the major problems don't forget. It is more complex than just the flocking material unfortunately.
