Here is my take pretty much on all optics. This is my opinion and if some don't agree with me, that is ok - we are all different!!

More money = more quality!!!! To me there is no better quality of scope than a Schmidt & Bender.

This is coming from a PA farm boy with a decent job. Not a high paid, expert celebrity, sponsored funded big shot like we all see on TV.

I have owned Leupold, Nikon, Bushnell, Swarovski and Zeiss. They have been sold or traded - now I have nothing but S&B on all my rifles. I hear all this talk about fart boxes, eye boxes, resolution around the edges, resolution around the rim, prismatic rainbows, and all the other BS.

To a hunting SOB like me, here's what it comes down to: Having a scope that helps me see the best while hunting and can take a serious beating from hunting!!! S&B fits that bill for me.


PS: Just ordered a US Optics scope yesterday- the curiosity finally got to me. Looking forward to a hands on exam and putting it up against my S&B's !!!
