Folks,
I am contemplating the purchase of a new S&B 5 x 25 PMII.
I have a USO SN3 and several Leupold MK 4's. I will say that the USO does edge out the MK 4's in clarity but neither just are not as clear as I want. I really want to try one of the S&B's but just cant seem to bring myself to drop the dough...mainly because I have not had the opportunity to look through one.
My question is this...need honesty guys...Is the S&B that much better than the MK4 , NF, and USO offerings or is their popularity more due to the options that they have versus competitors? My eyes are not as good as they once were and I have been doing a lot of shooting out to 800 yards. I will say that my binoculars are Swarovski and would not trade them for any other brand out there....To me, they were the "end all" for binocs. I looked at just about every brand out there before I pulled the trigger on them but for me, nothing comes close on clarity. I just have not found that "warm fuzzy" feeling with any of the rifle optics listed above, ( or the swarovski scopes for that matter ) that were on par to these binocs. I have been told that the S&B "are that good" but I do not have any vendor close that I can go to to see what they really offer in clarity versus others.
If you own or use one of these scopes and have had the chance to compare them, your honest opinions would be greatly appreciated.
