I've always enjoyed the phrase, "With all due respect", since respect is earned - and you have earned exactly zero. So, with all due respect...

I think you are trying to sound intelligent and insightful, it isn't working.  Are you really asking me if I am coolaid?  And where Oakley came into this, I know not, but the point has been, from the beginning, name means far less than a tool's function for a given task.

I don't care what name is on a scope if the scope does what I need it do to.  Likewise, I don't care what name is on a scope if it does NOT do what I need.

We aren't talking about capitalism or feeling good, I began this thread to talk about a scope that made marketing statements that were inaccurate and disingenuous.

Thus far, your comments have made no salient point - and you've brought nothing of worth to the conversation.  What GMC and Oakley have to do with the conversation is tangential at best, more likely they are your preferred rants to make some point, but I'll be damned if it matters.
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

"PC4life" --
Are you REALLY "pc4life" or an impostor?

Is there a particular reason you're repeating the same themes in multiple threads? Do you have a beef with someone in particular? Are you implying that OT members buy stuff based on perceived brand prestige or the need to impress others? What's the agenda here?

Na, I think all of these firearm and optics companies have done a wonderful job of capitalizing on the perceived difference between marketing and brand loyalty ~ separating the crowd with the crowd.

Saying that any equipment is only as good as the genetics of the eyes/brain behind them ~ not a good sales pitch.

That is where the outstanding sales genius's show their worth ~ gotta have the bling to mean anything in the world of long range shoot'n.

Fast talk, catchy lines and perceived koolness are the future in a tired "reality" driven market which is need something fresh ~ too bad "fresh" seems to be following the sheep.

So, are you planning to keep reciting these same cryptic themes in every thread from this point forward, or are you planning to eventually crystallize your thoughts into salient points that directly relate to the topics being discussed?

Na, just saying what I think from day to day being an individual you may or may not understand ~ its a jeep thing.

I love capitalizing on the marketing business ~ love what you do never have to work a day in your life.

Lucky for me, I don't sell optics.

You seem enthralled with the "crowd" and with your success at being somehow different - above it.  Truth be told, one of you wanders in a few times a year, flails around for a bit, then wanders out to be a hipster elsewhere; it's no big deal, you'll be gone soon.

I've looked at a few of your others posts, seems to be the same drivel.  As for the "bling", it is back to tools: right tool for the job.  There are no limit of mall ninjas and super secret squirrel commando delta black ops airsoft types who buy for name recognition, but they don't tend to stay around too long, they have the same 3 or 4 catch phrases that they think are cool, and once those are played out, they wander off somewhere else to use their catch phrases on a new bunch.

Not one scope I own is possessed for the purpose of impressing you - or anyone else.

I do find humor in your "fast talk, catchy lines" thing, since that seems to be about the depth of your contributions thus far.

Carry on.
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

That's great and all... we all appreciate original thinking and folks loving what they do... but most people also tend to prefer conversing with folks who demonstrate the ability to engage in 2-way dialogue in good faith and who don't repeat the same cryptic references over and over again.

Don't the thinking heads of state in the firearms and optics world like in the auto industry jump ship from time to time ~ fresh'n up old tired marketing to the "new" must have bling.

Rules of Engagement #8. 

8.  SWFA's OpticsTalk forum is a peaceful community of like minded shooting, hunting and outdoors enthusiasts.  Open minded, logical, rational debates are healthy and welcome.  Close minded, agenda pushing, strong handed debates (bordering on arguments) to prove one's position or point simply for the sake of winning or to gain some perceived power are not welcome.
