powdr-Thanks for the kind words. I am sure the S&B scopes rank with the very best, but I only listed those I had ample experience with. I've looked through a few S&Bs but never owned one to run through the paces. But from my brief time looking through and handling them, the only negative thing I could come up with would be the center wire of the reticle seeming quite thin, much as in the Meoptas. Then again, with top-notch resolution and image contrast, even the thinner reticles can often be rather useful under the worst of lighting conditions and against dark targets like hogs. But since I haven't spent significant time behind them, I won't speculate.
