I don't know of anyone doing objective testing with any sort of scientific method. Wish I did.
I suspect the age old question 'who's gonna pay for it' is the reason why no one's doing it. I think we've all heard the opinion 'Brand A is the best thing since the invention of the wheel' and 'Brand A is total junk', from one source or another. Part of the problem there is that a lot of brands now have a wide array of scopes at different price ranges. Within the same brand, the low end stuff may be mediocre at best, and some of the higher priced models can be excellent.

Let's say you had a machine that you could put several scopes on and simulate 1000s of rifle shots, you could easily compare them. I tend to buy Leupolds because of quality and the guarantee, but I have had a few fail me over the years.
But let's say that testing shows that an upper end Simmons at $100 performs at least as well as a lower end Leupold at $200, that would be something. I would also like to know the pedigree of some scopes. I've noticed that BSAs and Barskas look an awful lot alike,,,where are they made, who specifially made them?
