Never seen a S&B that could kill a big game animal any better than a LRHS, VX6, or lately even an Arken.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Just turn the reticle on. Imo, lit reticles largely opened FFP scopes up to hunting service. What happens when the scope was left on and the battery is dead? And you forgot to bring a battery? Those fancy subtensions that match at all powers aren’t useable at the lowest setting anyways because the reticle is too fine at that power and you don’t need them for holdover because if you did need that you would dial up the scope. It’s not a PRS match. It’s ONE shot Most scopes shut off automatically.

Most likely not.
Never had a LRHS.
Or a Arken.
Did pick up a Athlon.
Seems to work fine.
Couldn't speak to what alphabet soup loopie does these days.
My 30-30 has open sights .
Works good.

Hunting Schmidt's have a spare battery in the cap.

It’s ONE shot that's weird, my swfa 3-9 and lrhs don't have a lit reticle and they are better then the standard leupold wife duplex at 3x. then again par for the course. regurgitating rubbish. I have owned that scope and to say the reticle is just as visable on 3x as a duplex. Heck even according to you better according to you is a perfect example of internet bullchit. It’s a great scope but it ain’t not duplex

Was disappointed that there's not an FFP option available for the new S&B offering. There's a lot to like in that scope. A bit spendy, but I'm sure it's impressive by a lot of measures.
The THLR reticle or something like it would be a good fit in that scope.

For a company noted for FFP reticles you kinda have to wonder why? dave Yeah....I just don't understand the why behind it. The illuminated P3 (or same reticle with only an inner dot illuminated rather than the cross) would have been really good.

I keep hoping for an alpha level Bushy LRHS, but it just isn't happening.
