Well shidt.....the S&B is indeed a better low light scope..
As it should be!I luv mine!
But I have killed two brownies with 1.5-5x's set on 4X....ditto black bears....cause that's what I had,and was not on those hunts at all handicapped,other than by my own ineptitude, that is......
Personally I would not want any flash tubes in my scope,but that is just me...
If I were gonna buy a scope for my 375H&H...today....just for brown bear,etc, it would be a 1 3/4-6 Schmidt.
But, if I were leaving tomorrow,I would grab my 375 with the 4X Leupold and go smack a bear!
