The Schmidt and Bender scopes are known to be extremely tough and exceptionally brilliant. The internals are the best in the industry. This scope has very light marks from scope rings. This is a 30mm tube and FFP FD7 reticle which resembles the European #4 reticle but it is illuminated...$1399.00 + shipping

If it had a 50mm objective, I would give it serious consideration. Me too. If it was 50mm I would have grabbed it. However, it being 56mm it won't work with my present rings and higher rings would mess up my cheek weld. That scope is probably the best light gathering scope made and would be perfect for many of us eastern WT hunters. Someone will get a great scope when they buy this. Gotta love S & B.

Don’t make it any harder than you have to. 3 mm is the only difference between a 50 and a 56 mm because half of that distance is above the bore. A $2300 scope for $1399.00 certainly would be worth a set of rings And an elevated 3 mm cheek weld.

I’ve been wanting to put together a rifle for whitetail stand hunting with glass that will perform 30 minutes past sunset in dark timber. I think this would probably be about as close to perfection you could get.
