the SAM is a awesome scope, it has lots of gadgets inside and does some Hollywood shit... Nathan has brought them down to RO before, and I will have to get him to give me one for a review.
What you do is dial in the range, it takes the weather, and you zero out the optic and it hits the target. Pretty cool

I excuse me -- I need a scope like that -- speak for yourself.
I'm an awesome trigger puller and this will only make me more awesomer
they are neat scopes. a gentleman i've been talking to wants one, i think it's worth every penny. there isn't anything else like it on the market, and hensoldt is top notch, the glass is awesome. but if i was going to drop that kind of coin on it, i would get it from a dealer. thats retail price for that scope.

But really though, I read about the stuff it will do. I am just wondering how rugged it is and how it handles a tactical environment?</div></div>
Its a Hensoldt / Zeiss tactical they are very robust... being a Marine I would use one on my rifle as its a tool to help solve a problem... the rest is always up the shooter but as you progress in shooting, some tools prove more helpful.
Interesting you put it this way.... mark the date today.
I had one last week for testing purposes, its not worth the money you spent for.
In Germany it will cost 2600€=3540$.
The picture is not very bright and not so flawless like the Nightforce´or the Premier Reticles. It has blueish rings on the outside in higher magnifications and is quite yellow in lower magnifications.
Its quite heavy on the gun.
You have to work with 1cm/100m clicks not mils or MOA, and they are not so crisp like NFs or PRs. Windage is also not very high, 30clicks complete (15 right, 15 left). Thats not many IMHO. You can zero it in over 100clicks, but if you screw the turret on it stucks to +-15clicks.
And it fell down and the elevation tower gets stuck.
I am not satisfied with that piece of ........ .
I ordered an NF NXS 5.5-22x56 for my .308WIN and a PR Heritage 5-25x56 for my .338LM therefore, which i tested on the same days.
I think this says all.

But one will still have to account for the lunar phase thingy and may need some oxy clean additive...............
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Belisarius</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You are positive, it's the same scope? </div></div>
the Hensoldt 6–24 x 72 SAM costs about 10,000 euros in Europe, you can have it in FF or SF plane.
3000 euros will buy you the 6-24x72 but without the SAM.
I'm sorry, unless it has visible particles from the hard earth seals on the reticle when I open it up for the first time, its just not up to my standards... SAM or no SAM.

Thats crazy, and I am currently saving some dough to afford a decent USO, $11,000, I can think of better things to do with that much cash,,,,like redo my kitchen

Sorry my fault, i haven´t looked for the SAM scope. I had the normal version, but i think the optics inners are the same. And i have my ballistic computer on the iphone. So i didn´t need the SAM.
Yes 1cm/100m is the same as .1mil but in the usermanual everything is written in cm. Thats what i meant.
Schmidt & Bender used to mark their turrets "1 cm @ 100 m." instead of "0.1 mil". They finally wised up. I wish everyone would, so people would stop thinking that a mil is "metric".
