Re: Are S&B really that good

I run a USO on one rifle because it has a Horus reticle.
I like a single turn CCW Mil knobs and I don't have a problem with the adjustments being very close together, so I like SB.
But I like being able to mount a 30mm tube lower. Great glass is a plus, but all I really care about in a scope is that tracks well and takes a beating, and I have never had an issue with any NF.
If you don't have a SB, get one because you need at least one. But, if you already have one SB, then get NF's for your working rifles and use the extra money to attend the matches. </div></div>
This post makes a perfect point!!
I also feel that SB is the best. I have owned USO, NIGHFORCE, S&B, LEUPOLD, KAHLES, SWAROVSKI.
The glass is the SB is better than all the scopes I have listed except Swarovski. Swarovski does not make a tactical scope though. The only down side to SB is that most of the scopes are CW. That really bites IMO. If you have all SB then it is not a problem but most of us can not afford to have all SB. I wish the CCW were easier to get.
