What Matt said..
The two scopes mentioned here are very different.
I have used the klassiks for decades and have had a PMII of one model or another for almost as long.
Kind of depends on what your planning on doing with it.
And what you need for power..how far your planning on shooting...
Klassiks have limited elevation travel.
PMIIs have plenty
Typically the PMIIs are large heavy scopes.But there are some smaller ones now.
A S&B Klassik 3-12x42 with a p3 or a TDS reticle would handle most things a man would care to shoot at with a carry gun.
The S&B PMII 4-16x42 is kinda a load.But will do it all, if need be.
If money is no object I would look hard at this thing.
1.5-8x42 Stratos.

Not sure about elevation travel on it.
