Rifle Scopes Better Glass than S&B?

[Tcoddington]

I actually just ordered a S&B form the great guys over at Eurooptic, but wondering if there is a better glass quality scope. This will be my second PMII 5-25 and I am sure it is going to be as great as my first but so many companies are selling expensive glass! Just wondering if there is better glass out there?

Hensoldt and Tangent Theta....Thats about it as S&B has excellent glass.

Always good to hear you made the right decision!

NCstar blows everything else out of the water.

Not meaningfully better. You're buying at the top end.

To be serious I think it depends on the individual qualities of the glass you're looking for. Some are better at resolution, some have better color, some have better clarity, some have better low light performance.

Did you make a good choice in SB? Yup. But there is so much good glass work being done these days don't be afraid to branch out. This is coming from a glass snob lol.

Spent the day behind the S&B and left the range with a big smile. The upper range clarity is absolutely amazing, even past a 1000 yards was picking up details on the steel that I have never been able to see with different glass. Another big thanks to Eurooptic for helping me pick the right glass!

Minox.

Took it out today for the first time and 3 of us agree. We had 5 S&B's and one Minox. Not massively better, but crisper focus for sure. S&B can be hit or miss too, some are better than others. Feel free to freak out and start calling names and typing in all caps.

PS: Premier Optronika is better too

That's great to hear, even if it will cost me a few thousand dollars!
