Rifle Scopes Talk me in (or out) of a new S&B 6-36

[Roadrace33]

So I’m kinda looking for another scope. I honestly have no idea why I keep getting S&B in my head. I have a few Zco 8-40’s, 5-27’s and I also have a few Tangent 5-25 and 7-35’s. I love them all. They all work great, I’ve had one single issue with a ZCO 5-27, and that’s it. They have been rock solid, and I cannot say which brand or model I like the best, because my opinion changes depending on the day.

I’m genuinely curious what people think of the S&B in comparison? Is it a stupid idea and I should stick with the brands ive already come to love?

Use wise, is regular shooting on a bolt gun…100-2000 yards. Some PRS here and there.

Reticle wise, I’m thinking that TR2ID is the one I would choose if I went S&B. I really don’t know much about them. They seem like fantastic scopes. Price wise, seems a little more that ZCO, more in the TT range. I’m not really concerned on price. But maybe the ZCO and TT are just the better choice and what I should stick with instead of branching out?


Browsing online, this is the model I’ve come up with….now S&B seems like they have 500 different iterations of the same model (6-36) with like 75 difference acronyms for shit. DTII, Mc, CCW and so on. So I’m not entirely sure this is the model to even be looking at.

You are going to get a fov limited 6-36 which is most likely going to plument in value when the new ones theoretically hit us shores next year.

Check out the new March. I have been shooting mostly ZCO and tangents last few years and it might honestly be as good or better in some aspects. The other one is the Kahles 540. Insane FOV and great reticle selection with very good glass.

The reading I’ve done is that they are definitely neutered, and my small bit of comparing shows they are similar in terms of FOV to Zcos 8-40 in relation to magnification. Unless I’m understanding it wrong?

Who knows when we will actually see the un-neutered versions.

The march and the Kahles are the only two options that I would even entertain shooting over over tangent or a ZCO. S&B also had their US support network gutted if I recall so warranty with them is going to be less than stellar. Kahles is kind of same boat and March is building a us warranty location in Texas last I heard. I've had to send TT back to Canada and ZCO back to Austria so it does happen. Both were very fast turn arounds. S&B is not a bad option just good to know what you might expect.

Gotcha. Thank you.
