I mentioned that my statement was "my opinion." I know people who prefer NF over S&B and Premier, mostly because they are SFP shooters. NF are solid and I wouldn't be opposed to owning one but TO ME if we're talking about what scope is better between the NF or S&B, I'm gonna say S&B every time.

I live a little north of you maybe 25-30 min, I'm waiting on Tom from TVP to finish my custom rifle and then I will hopefully be heading out there more often. If you want to tag along next time my friends (if they can) and I head out there feel free to contact me. Tom teaches classes if your...

+1 for 3-20, can't think of a better magnification range for a .308, not too much but plenty for any job a .308 is capable of, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure you'll love either model since there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.

+1 for FFP, it just simplifies things and leaves less room for error. Everyone else's input/info here on this thread is good so read and decide. If you can afford the model you have in mind in FFP, I'm willing to bet you won't be disappointed in slightest.

I have a S&B 3-20 with MTC with locking turrets and I've messed around with a Premier 5-25 with MTC. I kinda thought the Premier was easier but I think it was because of the size of turrets, the Premiers are a bit bigger/thicker and really fill your hand up (I have smaller hands) so maybe it...

I think your really gonna like that MOA reticle, I got my hands on one out at Thunder Valley Precision like lonmower said and was really impressed with it. I think Premier nailed it with the small breaks in the reticle line for the half MOA mark. I was heavily considering getting one until I...

The MSRP on the 3-27 is freaking crazy! I thought spending anything over $3k was sketchy BUT I was 100% satisfied with my s&b 3-20 with the only "con" being the MTC turrets, but not a deal breaker by any means. There's no way I could ever justify spending $2000+ more on 7X.

I did mean 1/4 MOA but I may be wrong ... what ever 5.3 INCHES is in MOA at 1000 yards is what the average was of 3 sets of 5 shot groups. I'm not the oracle of converting inches to MOA but I thought I heard someone else that was there say that was 1/4 MOA. But obviously I could be wrong, I...

Clarity will be pretty much the same but I would think about that low end power limiting your field of view at shorter distances. I run a s&b 3-20 and I feel that it's perfect for most short actions because you get the best of both worlds and that 5 power you'll miss out on won't be detrimental...

I have a friend with a 20' custom .260 that shoots 1/4 MOA groups at 1000 yards. If you have good dope and a good load and you do your part behind it, you won't miss that 2 inches. I don't believe you'll have any issues what so ever with a .260 in a tactical match with a 22' barrel. I mean your...

Re: Raven M40A5 Beautiful rifle, love the paint job ...

Re: Schmidt & Bender vs. NightForce... Let me have it In response to being overly-obsessed with glass quality, I believe it's a trait worth noting when your contemplating spending around $3k on a SCOPE. I find it almost unusual if someone gets behind a S&B or a Premier and doesn't mention the...

Re: Aimpoint PRO or T-1? +1 for Aimpoint T1 2 MOA

Re: Eotech or Aimpoint? +1 for Aimpoint T1 2 moa, I was skeptical at first too. Once you get used to it, it's fast for CQB and reliable at long range. I even run mine with the Aimpoint 3X magnifier with a LaRue flip to side mount, which is the best system I have ran to date. It also has you...

Re: Schmidt & Bender vs. NightForce... Let me have it Try the classifieds on here for better prices, glass may be used and have some light wear but you can always deals. I found my S&B on here, brand new, for several hundred under MSRP.
