    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    So Schmidt is the "gold standard" all others are Schmidt wanna-be's and sucking on their coattails but so many others do it so well and possibly subjectively better. It don't matter how you make your money 7k is 7k.. unless you are a 1%er that's a fat chunk of change. One simple fact remains it...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    What I meant by reticle choice being completely subjective: Putting a simple duplex reticle on an air rifle only to be used at close range and a Horus on a 338LM. Each is perfect in the owners eye for the purpose it serves. One can say the Horus is the better reticle by far but you really...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    I have never looked thru an IOR or Beast. Kahles has good glass in the 624i since they did the Gen2 upgrade. Steiner is very good as well. Reticles are all a personal choice and noone can say one is really better than another because each is completely subjective. March has very nicely done...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    You can't say Premier is not in business really, it's just been absorbed, renamed and the new models upgraded. You still get the same great service Premier is known for. As you said LL, Swarovski has insanely gorgeous glass especially in the Z6's but they have yet to really target the...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    Hensoldt, March, Premier. The NF ATACR wasn't too bad.. good contrast and color saturation but did have some CA in the blue wavelength. I haven't seen the BEAST and I can only comment on the scopes I have seen. Premier's glass is just gorgeous, awesome resolution, contrast, saturation some...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    I would also like the opportunity to examine the 3-27 "high power" but not for what they are asking. If anyone out there has one some input would be appreciated. I don't know if I would go as far to say Schmidt are the best but they are in the top 5. They do the job they were designed for quite...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    As expensive as they are now they should be as close to optical perfection as it gets. The quality control should be second to none, the batch to batch and unit to unit consistency should be flawless. The mechanicals are great yes as you rarely hear of one not holding zero but I would expect...

    Service like that adds INCREDIBLE value to your investments and keeps their value high as well.

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    The Leupold Mark 4's (among many others) are famous for having aberrations, which is what you are referring to CAL50 by the "prismatic" color display while viewing an incandescent light at night. This is more noticeable on lower end optics with a small objective and higher magnifications such...

    Rifle Scopes Premier warranty service experience

    I own quite a few Premier scopes and for the first time I had to have some work done. Just a little oil on the ocular not even really noticeable except with a bright light shining into the scope from the rear. But being the perfectionist I am I wanted it cleaned. I contacted Trevor at Armament...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    I bought an S&B 5-25 in tan a while back when I was in my optics searching for a winner phase, and I would have to say the same thing, it didn't impress me as much as I thought it should. The tunnelling was ridiculous, it looked like I was looking thru a piece of iron pipe with lenses in it. It...

    Rifle Scopes Who's really making what for who!?

    I looked at a Weaver not too long ago and I was extremely surprised at what I had seen.

    You are almost comparing apples to apples with HSP and GAP when speaking of quality

    Rifle Scopes Who's really making what for who!?

    Money just don't buy what it used to. huh? And by those companies pushing over the 3k mark are almost pricing themselves out of the market. Not many guys can afford to dump 4k+ into a riflescope. Why are only the SFP scopes made in Japan? I wonder if NF grinds it's own glass here.

    That is interesting seeing made in US on the NF beast, I hadn't seen one yet. I was referring to the ATACR in specific. I do own several high end spotters, they are an absolute joy to peer thru.

    Rifle Scopes Who's really making what for who!?

    I guess that brings up another question. How much does it REALLY cost to produce a NF, March, S&B compared to a less expensive one. I have a feeling the answer would be quite shocking.
