Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Fixed Leupold vs Variable S&B

Never will understand how seeing better is a handicap

That's why I hunt with a Zeiss Diascope and a pair of 10x Zeiss Classics.

"Before S&B, I killed...



After S&B, I killed...

Was the "before" a DIY? Obvious what the "after" was..

"We also have some enclosed and heated stands for your comfort."

Damn.. When I want a whitetail hunt, I'll have to consider Circle Lakes Angus.. Some nice bucks taken there. All the hunters look well fed too.

If you want to brag about exercise or how much you can bench press, be my guest. I mountain bike almost year round and get all the exercise I need. Lots of folks here seem to want to brag bout how hard their hunts are or how many times they have "slammed their rifles and scopes to the ground" while hunting. The same ones who always brag about this are the same ones who probably have a draw at home filled with empty game tags. Not saying this is you Calvin cause I saw the pic of the recent one you took over at As Real As it Gets and that was a really nice buck.

That being said, someone should make thread.

"Before S&B, Boonies I never saw "

"After S&B, Great deer that weren't boonies that a Schmidt let me pass on"

Thank you S&B!

I'm sure I'll love it Dave. Not sure it'll help me punch a tag though. I'm just a little hesitant to knock the new off of a $1799 scope. I saw one for sale for $1,400 awhile back, used.

S&B makes binos and spotters?

Apparently some use Rifle Scopes to spot game.

S&B only makes rifles scopes. No Calvin I use Lieca uUltravid binos and a top the line Kowa Spotter, but I do not see a disadvantage to a scope that gives the best view possible and that tracks perfectly and is tough as nails, Nope don't see a down side to that.

I knew.

Oh, I see you really do want the best but just don't want to pay for it. I can dig that

I can buy whatever I want, when I want. I'm not stupid though. Knocking $500 worth of value off the scope in the first few hunts rates as "stupid".

I see used S&B's go for almost the same as new ones all the time, your selling but I ain't buying

I saw a S&B PM2 10x42 NOT sell at $1,400 on SH. That's -400 from the "new" price. The fact is that mine won't be very new looking after a few hunts, and further reduce the value.

That type of loss would be stupid.

Who wants a fixed power PMll? Not me

Why is geting one use from a product,stupid? Of buying a new vehicle is also a loss of money as soon as the papers are signed

Maybe that's why S&B scope owners brag their scopes up so much.. so they don't take a $3-800 bath when they sell the scope. Expensive bragging rights.

I could sell all my Leupold 6x42's for exactly what I paid for them, or even a little more..
