I'll tell you all why you really want a Schmidt and Bender riflescope.
I was hunting in Wyo a month ago and saw a big buck in front of the sun late afternoon. I put my crosshairs on him and a few seconds later he was dead. 7X6 and large spread and body. Even my guide took a pic of him. He was 270 yards away(lasered).
In my scope, as I got on the animal, there was a hint of whiteout due to flare, but not enough to hinder the shot in any way, even though the sun was almost shining directly into the scope. I've shot with other scopes, and I can tell you the whiteout would have been total, and I would have never got the shot. I simply would not have been able to pick out the animal.
That's why you want an Alpha scope, and S&B is among the best.
