Have a safe full of rifles but this seems like a good excuse to buy another. Thinking of picking up a 7-08 and new scope. I’m not a turret twister. Anyone have one of these and can give an opinion?

For the money those GS3 scopes are very hard to better. When buying my last scope I compared the Steiners to Leica and Leupold. I ended up with Leica but only because the GS3 didn't have the 4a reticle. The differences between the two were very subtle. Anyways I don't think you'll be disappointed. Cheers.

I have a safe full of stuff but no Steiner. None of my local stores carry Steiner so i can’t actually look thru one to judge. This is an excellent scope with top tier optics. At this price point, in a SFP hunting scope this is a best buy for sure Doug @ Camera Land [email protected] http://www.cameralandny.com 516-217-1000 Thanks for the support.

I'm not seeing a lot of reviews or post about this scope at all. I'm impressed with my Steiner 10x50 binoculars though.
