I feel that the S&B Classic is outdated zoom ratio wise. It may appear to be a 4x power range scope but depending on the model you barely get 3x effective zoom. Beyond 3x you get tunnel vision that shrinks the image size without increasing the field of view. All S&Bs have good resolution and as very solid but you pay for it in weight and these days also in $$$.
The Swaro is a true 5x zoom scope making it very versatile. Unless you want a FFP scope, I see no reason going for the S&B classic.
