With all due respect it more than seems your saying that only you really know what a good scope is and that seems to be scopes that are very costly! Do you also perform the 10-15' drop test on your S&B or SWFA, I highly doubt that, but why not, how else can you be sure if you haven't actually performed the torture tests yourself and seen it first hand for yourself?
Everything has it has it's limits and a lot has to do with the care & treatment given by the shooter. I'd doubt that most on here are in the service and a branch that requires them to be highly involved with using their scopes all the time? But if you are then I'd want a top quality scope too! And not every really good scope has to cost a bundle although it may not meet up to your specifications, but then again not everybody can afford the same scopes you can. It's called personal preference and determining what you can afford.
Now as far as the durability of your scope/s, I seriously doubt
your willing to pick up your fancy expensive SWFA or S&B scope and literally throw it through the air, end over end, so it lands in the dirt about 80 to a 100 feet away and do that at least three times and then put it back on your rifle, still covered with dirt & dust even on the lenses & fire off a couple of shot to confirm it holds zero. Are you? Btw, don't use any lens caps during the test either. Will your scopes hold up to that kind of torture? If they were really good scopes they would!!!
So it all boils down to what kind of abuse you anticipate your scope is going to have to endure along with the care your going to use in handling it, now doesn't it, as well as what you can afford.
I also don't believe the claims your making by saying that this other fellow who professes to be a former sniper doesn't know what he is talking about or say what he did in the authoritative manner you do. Again with all due respect, don't forget, I also don't know you either so your statements are just as questionable to me.
He, as well as others have all said the CS is a very good scope
for the money and I'm going to determine that for myself as SG also claims them to be a very good scope and they do offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee so all I can loose at most is shipping and judging from past experience and the reviews on SG their products are very decent.
I have an Osprey 10-40 x50 scope, that I bought from SG, that everyone was also berating as a piece of junk and yet I was able to shoot two 1" groups with it at 100 yards and with test loads too from my Grendel. Even my buddy who has a Night Force NSX? was surprised ad said it wasn't all that bad after that. So being that I got the results I did from an inexpensive scope that many were proclaiming to be junk yet SG said was a decent scope just as they're claiming the Counter Sniper is I'm a lot more inclined to believe them than what I've been reading on these forums at least as far as all the negative response goes.
I have a 3-25 x56 Counter Sniper on order which might be in fairly soon so then I'll be able to determine for myself what the quality is or isn't? Four guys all gave it five stars on Midway and 15 guys on SG all spoke highly of it too so it makes me wonder if all these negative statements aren't coming from other disgruntled manufacturers & trolls??
The interesting thing is that it isn't just one but about six of you that seem jump in like a pack of coyotes and one even resorts to being highly arrogant and insulting. Sure seems like someone or some mfg's are sure running scared??

WTF. Is your Drag Queen name Pistol Pete or something???
Get Bent.. CS Scopes suck ass. They had to zip tie there scopes to the table at Shot Show because so many were broken...
