Curious, I see tons of them for sale. People don't like them? overrated? too expensive and want something cheaper? What are people replacing them with after they sell them?

This right here. I think most people want the NLE 10 mil turrets.New reticle and new 10 mil turrets.
Uh no. No one ever said this scope is too good, let me downgrade to something shittier.The real answer is ZCO's are probably more scope than most need, especially if they just make the occassional trip to the range. A bit of pride of ownership and show off. Even after they sell, they can still say they owned a ZCO.
I bought mine after looking through a few at Hat Creek. The glass, to me, if far superior to the S&B 5-25 I was shooting, not to mention a better reticle and no tunneling like the S&B.
Back with a vengeance I see…. Am happy with my cucked up SB 6-36 but would be curious to see what happens after the patent.Uh no. No one ever said this scope is too good, let me downgrade to something shittier.
The reason you see them moving is mainly updated reticles/features that come out. Guys want newer (and rightfully) better reticles.
Personally I wouldn't buy anything new from ZCO or TT for about 2 more years. Then you will see the non cucked FOV versions come out, and you will really see the prices of legacy alpha optics drop.
S&B is 25 year old tech. They look like a window covered in shit compared to the modern stuff.

I really really hope your being "Funny" .... cause otherwise your just "Silly" with that statement!!![]()
If that's the case, why isn't the PX loaded with 6x36 models? (I want one)S&B is 25 year old tech. They look like a window covered in shit compared to the modern stuff.
You mean the 15 scopes they have made so far LOL.If that's the case, why isn't the PX loaded with 6x36 models? (I want one)
When a S&B is listed in the PX they usually don't last long.
Side by side with a ZCO or Tangent, a S&B 5-25 looks like dogshit. We have ran them in harsh conditions and its not even close. The difference in brightness alone will be the difference between seeing a target or not. Reticles are about as bad and dated as you can get. Tunneling is not really an issue but its still there. The same way a MK4 looked to a S&B 25 years ago.I really really hope your being "Funny" .... cause otherwise your just "Silly" with that statement!!![]()
What harsh conditions have you ran them in Nick?Side by side with a ZCO or Tangent, a S&B 5-25 looks like dogshit. We have ran them in harsh conditions and its not even close.

The only people who gush over S&B are casual/uninformed shooters who don't know any better. They heard the name years ago when it was the top dog and still think it has some mythical status. They still live in the past.
S&B used to be a market leader. Now they are another follower. Maybe the 6-36 will end up being a decent scope. Like their LPVO, they wait until everyone else inovates (should have seen S&B engineers cumming their pants at USO booth years ago when they released their 1-8 DFO), then comes out with a comparable product years later, at S&B prices. No thanks.

The 3-27 was a flop, the 5-45 is a dud and they are still selling more 5-25 than anythng else becuase they havent made any real improvements in 2 decades. Meanwhile everyone else is just lapping them. You can keep your S&B.
My reference was in relation to the S&B 6-36..
I own and use Tangent, ZCO , S&B ...The new S&B 6-36 is a very very good optic....far improved over the old 5-25.... At present its the best optic i have used!!
How dare you! Sir I am a professionally uninformed shooter.apparently you are just a casually uninformed shooter
Are you saying the S&B is better than both the ZCO and Tangent?My reference was in relation to the S&B 6-36..

I've heard great things about the 6-36 Schmidt. However reticle choice is extremely limited. Also, there is only one distributor in the US, and no US service center if you have any issues. Vortex, Kahles, Swarovski, ZCO, Nightforce, all have service centers in the US if you happen to have an issue.
It is.SB’s service center in VA no longer there?
I found it listed on their website. Looks like I was wrong about the service center going away.SB’s service center in VA no longer there?
Ask your expert:We recommend that you contact your local Schmidt & Bender dealer directly. They can arrange all further steps for you and contact us.I didn’t see it listedoin their website.
