Thanks. That's actually more info than I expected on these. My friend is looking for a scope with similar glass to his Zeiss 3-9 but with a little more power and not ultra costly. This scope might fit that bill but it's tuff to find info on it. I'm open to suggestions on other scopes that might fall into that category.

Look at Meopta. A lot better deal for <span style="text-decoration: underline">the same</span> glass.

Do you feel that one is better than the other? Almost the same price.

Meopta uses Schott Glass. I don't know what Steiner uses, but it's pretty good. I have not looked through a 'Predator' scope but I have looked through their binos in the field. Steiner has a patented lens coating that helps make browns/yellows (the color of fur) stand out a little better against the background. As with all compromises this one decreases just the smallest bit of light gathering. So, mid-day, you don't notice a change. At dark side of dawn and dusk, you'll be hard pressed to see animals. In the case of most states, that isn't a legal time to hunt anyway.
I have a pair of fixed 15x Steiner Bighorns that I keep next to the window for wildlife watching. When you get them adjusted right, they are excellent.
The price difference is $50 from the Meopta Military with mil-dot reticle or standard duplex reticle vs. the Steiner 4-16x50 Predator. I like the S-1 as far as a BDC because it subtends in a standard length (like mil/moa) instead of 'what they think you need to shoot'.
