Not even close. Optics have improved leaps and bounds. My dad has an old Redfield Illuminator from the early 80's. It was $450 back then, and doesn't hold a candle to a Nikon Prostaff.

Manufacturing quality. I understand the optics have gotten better. I just think they were made a little better back then.

I don't think so man. CNC machining has improved quality a lot, especially in optics where precision fitting of lenses is required.
