Re: Counter Sniper Scopes

The thing I find interesting about all these comments is that only one that I read seemed to have any hands-on experience?
In Midway's review section about the Counter Sniper scopes, the 8-32 x56mm received [4] 5-star ratings from individuals and one 2 star rating. On the 6-25 x56 there are [3] 4-star so possibly you guys just happened to get a bad scope or started with a really low end one your doing your eval with?
Also one of the guys said he would place the clarity on par with his IOR Valdana and another fellow on a different form and a former sniper said he's got two of them and they equal his Night Force and S&B, if I remember his other high-end scope.
So there seems to be a considerable amount of discrepancy from what a lot of you are saying??
Everybody has their personal preferences and not everyone can afford or cares to expend $1,500.00 plus on a scope either.
Now I've also noticed that there are two different styles of the CS scopes, the D-Ops line has the rheostat in front of the elevation turret while the C-S models that Sportsma's Guide sells has it on the side of the eye piece and they also have good reviews, indeed the sniper's review is there, and SG offers 100% satisfaction guarantee too which I can personally attest too that they honor!
Your replies are of interest.

Respectfully, not everyone that purchases from Midway knows what a good scope is - they just buy the hype. And no real ex-sniper would say the CSS is a good scope. Ok, well it may have been a mall ninja sniper that made the positive comment. <span style="color: #FF0000">For hands on experience
