Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Special run of fixed power scopes

Those on the outside very often think a buisness should lose money to satisfy a very small subset of customers.

Leupold did run a custom shop for many years but it was always a net loss. Every scope Leupold can produce is sold before it's made and the same is true for most other actual manufacturers.

It's not viable to cater to a niche very small customer base that wants one off custom products at production prices.

Sorry ladies,typical slow day here,but at least it was dry. Hint.



Keep your Professional Victim Hurt Feelers Reports coming,as that High Pitched Nasal Whine sure is fhuqking soothing! Hint.

I might start carving some Mail open this afternoon. Pardon the Splendors of wares that exist,if only in advance. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

I agree 100%, that is why I pick and choose from what is available.

Seems an opportunity for a entrepreneur, a boutique shop, how hard can making scopes be?

The S&B "offered" was/is a Goat Fhuqk. Schit reticle,no parallax adjustment,schit erector travel and fhuqking STUPID "controls". Hint.

A simplistic 6x MQ offered superior mechanical control and by fhuqking land slides. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

A good friend was one of the principles of a start up scope company. The endeavor is pretty daunting, to say the least.

The logical thing would be a shop where the company is already servicing an existing product line...both assembly and service. Leupold's now defunct Custom Shop did basic turret and reticle work and generally did a good job with that.

What I'm describing would be a true custom scope where the buyer could select specific features...reticle, w/e adjustment amounts, tracking system options, etc.

A true premium product at a premium price.

It worked for Premier Reticle before an unscrupulous business partner sank them.

Good shootin' -Al

Years back the 24 Hour Campfire did a special group purchase that Doug arranged with Schmidt & Bender for a S&B PMII fixed 6x42 rifle scope. Worst mistake ever not buying one of those. It was the most substantive and value based group buy I have ever seen. For those who say there is no market for a fixed power scope, that group buy proves you wrong.

Your responses are always amusing, and while your experience in these matters is generally respected, there is no way I would choose an MQ over an S&B. And while we fully understand your inability to respect another human being's choice, carry on compensating for personal shortfalls versus important matters.

On a more important matter, please give us the review on the 8 x 56 S&B you recently bought and the comparison in usable low-light additional time between the MQ and the S&B.

Sweetheart,

You are simply riding the Pine and have never stepped foot on the Floor. Hint.

The ONLY things you "shoot" are your mouth and Imagination,on a Minimum Wage. Hint.

Keep Pretending aloud,you Drooling CLUELESS Fhuqk. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

So how was the 8 x 56 Schmidt & Bender you just bought?

Great idea but I would prefer 2 3/4x and 4x. Getting a 4x and 6x would be fine with me but I suspect I'd go 2-7x rather than fixed 6x. Been using a couple 2-7x scopes several years now and have grown very fond of them. But my favorite scope is still the old Redfield 4 plex cch on my 30-06. Bought that scope new about 1971 and have never had a problem with it and for big game enough power for farther than I normally shoot!

Big Schtick,

Tell us about the pecan grove where you and Max used to shoot the trout, when your love was young.

Is that you on the left?

Maybe it’s time to put my S&B 6x42 for sale on the fire.

I never own a Meopta but read some great reviews on how well it tracks, can you tell us which scope tracks, holds zero and repeats the best in your estimation without smart a** reply.

Big Stick- I take it since the cat has your tongue on answering this simple question, the S&B was so good it conflicts with your CCP marketing efforts, and you need to keep the goodness to yourself.

How many times a day,do you gals think about me? Hint.

I do not have a S&B 8x56 and never have,but your vicarious "living" is fhuqking HILARIOUS! Hint.................
