Are today's medium priced scopes as good as yesterdays' high priced scopes ?

.

Have had some retail gun dealers who have been running their own shop for 30+ years tell me that today's medium priced scopes are every bit as good or better than yesterday's highest priced scopes ?

That is, today's $400 scope is every bit as good in optical quality, adjustments, and reliability as the $1,000 scope of 30+ years ago.

What say ye ?

.

Probably

I think that has always held true. Optics have steadily gotten better so a medium priced scope of any era would be better than a higher priced one from a former era.
