I am looking at potentially buying a couple of new scopes for my rifles. Looking at buying the Zeis S3 6-36 in particular. When do the sales take place? I read somewhere on here about possibly being able to get them for 1850. Just wanted to get an idea when to look the next sale. I obviously know about Memorial Day but that’s a ways off. These are going on some 22lr replacing a Nightforce ATACR 7-35. I am also thinking about getting another ATACR on the hide if I can’t catch a deal. Just looking to move the ATACR to an AI and saving some money getting the S3. Thanks and would appreciate any insight.

Just bought a couple of AI ATs from Eurooptic over the past couple of months along with some other goodies. I will give that a try and see what they come back with.
I have a atacr 7-35 I just got. I also just sold my zeiss s3 6x36 to another member.
After spending alot of time looking through both, I am super impressed with the s3! The glass on the atacr is approx (my eyes) 10% better in clarity. On the opposite side, the zeiss was at least 10% better in color and contrast than my atacr.
I will likely be buying a s3 for my next rifle.
That sale was a promotion with Zeiss and may have even been a one time deal.
Thanks for the clarification. I got a few price quotes. I just bought a S and B 6-36 for another rifle. I am going to wait and compare it to the ATACR and see if it is worth buying two of them or spend less get a used/demo ATACR or spend a little less and get the Zeiss. I am
Getting the impression that prices won’t get that low on the S3 anytime soon.
Let us know how you feel about the s&b 6x36 vs the 7-35 atacr. Id love to hear some feedback on those 2.
Just look on the classifieds on here, they’ve been popping up second hand around the sale price but they go quick.
If you are a PRS member you can get it for that now.
I will keep an eye out. I saw one on there and it was priced not too dissimilar from the new quotes I got. As far as PRS is concerned, between work, 3 kids, church, I don’t have much free time left over. Maybe one day but not anytime soon. I do think it would be fun.
25% off? Even EV price isn’t as low as the sale price was.
Yup. Zeiss is a title sponsor for the PRS this year and giving a great deal to their members.
@Doctorwho1138 nothing says you have to shoot matches. Just be a member.
Does any membership count? Brand new to this type of shooting. Building a rifle & need a scope. I had set my limit at $1000 used or new to keep cost down in case I ended up not enjoying it....slim chance. I would probably only shoot a few Texas matches. I upped my budget when I just missed a NF NX8 & Zeiss S3 5-25 around $1500 in the classifieds.
Do you buy from Zeiss direct or go thru one of the guys here? Will Bass Pro or Cabela’s work? Only ask since I have $250 in gift cards.
Thank you

It should but that's a question for the PRS. And I believe it is direct through Zeiss.

Man, thank you for the info & spending the time digging up the e-mail. Great info. Think I am going to pull the trigger on a Zeiss S3 4-25.
I have 2 6-36 S&Bs… they’re great. A huge improvement over the 5-25x56…. Euro optic occasionally has demos for sale….
I just bought one so I will get to see here soon. I still love my 5-25 though and if it’s that much better I will be pleased. Never had an issue with that scope. Thanks
