Well, the verdict is in; the scope has to go to Germany. I'm told to exoect a 3-month wait before it's on my door step again. Nothing against S&B but put that in your differential when evaluating scopes.

Ouch. Did they offer you a loaner scope in the interim?

The S&B fixed 4x36 is a well built scope indeed, but you must temper this with the fact that it is more than 50% heavier than the LEU fixed 4x33 scope. The physics of this marked increase in mass adds much stress to the scope during recoil. This is a major reason behind the well documented durability of the LEU 2.5x scope being that it is well constructed with such low mass. Best

Nothing against S & B, but this is a bit of a negative when compared to Leupy...unless maybe you're BobinNH  . What kind of mounts/rings? Make sure to have at look at those as well. If something crapped out there, they'll take out every scope,seen it many times. No problem: Talleys, lapped even.
