Great image, but at a price! I checked online that AP scope is a cool $8,800 USD and thats ONLY the tube assembly. Throw in another $4500 USD for a suitable AP mount, and a sizable portion of the value of a family home has gone

I wonder why they cant make these scopes much more cheaply with advances in Computer Aided manufacturing and the like, and still maintain excellent quality. Computers are getting ever more powerful, for less money, but optics arent
Imagine a fully computerised optical shop where scopes like these are made by the latest computerised machines, for about $1000 each.
