Looks like S&B did some interesting updates to the 5-25x56mm.

I like that they copied over the 2nd rev turret pop from the USMC design. Cerakote and locking turrets are cool too.

Does anyone know when these updates will be available?

That scope was the S&B candidate for the PRS rifle. It has a H37 Horus reticle and the locking turrets work well with that reticle, but not for other reticles like the mil dot and P4F. IIRC, the price was $3100 plus $500 for the Horus. (I have a post on this that I wrote a few days after SHOT.)

At 25x, the Horus looks really huge, but you can always dial it back. So what good is 25x with a thick Horus reticle?

If you want one, just ask a S&B dealer if they can order one for you.

Didn't know about the reticle. I definitely like the P4F in the S&B or the Gen 2 mil in the Premier best.

The 5-25 has more elevation and a true zero stop.

On my 7mm RM with a 28 MOA base, the Hensoldt ran out of elevation trying to get to a 1800-yard target.

The 5-25 in the same mount I get something like 26 mils up from a 100-yard zero.
