Rifle Scopes schmidt and bender 5-45x56

If you want what it has to offer, it's a great scope and offers a huge amount of versatility.
Frank did a video review on it that you can see in the video links.

It is longer and heavier than most other scopes and the center bell is a bit taller than the others.
You need a really stable shooting position once you start cranking up past the 30x range.

I'd say that if you were looking for a PRS type scope or something to go to running & gunning matches with or hunting etc, then maybe spend the money on something else like the 3-27, 5-25, 5-20 and so on. But if you want to be able to do some long range target shooting at greater distances it's an amazing scope for that.

That being said, if you don't mind the extra size / weight / cost then you can run it just like a 5-25 for everything you want, and just only use the extra magnification when you are in a position to do so.
