I’ve had everything but ZCO and TT. Got to experience a TT for short time and It left me with a feeling that I needed a better paying job....
I have to agree with Rob01. Don’t know him, don’t think I’ve ever shot with him, but IMHO
I would have to give it a wash. 3 S&B 5x25 Gen II XRs and 3 Gen II razors. I had one S&B that stood above the others. It looked like it had different quality glass than he other two.
Actually slightly preferred the glass in my Gen II razors to the other 2 S&Bs. Those two broke, went back to Germany and were replaced and I sold the new ones and never looked back. Will a used S&B 5x25 serve you well.im sure it will. But For the price difference with used or new, I would buy the razor, or an AMG over the 5x25. And I’ve got the AMG, Kahles 5-25, and Minox MR4 now. For the prices I’ve seen used AMGs go for on here recently, it’s not a question. I haven’t owned the newer S&B scopes so can comment on those. That being said, My 3-12 MTC was flawless in every way. Everybody has had shit
Break. Were you taken care of? The one 5-25 S&B was one of the best scopes I’ve ever owned, glass and tracking. But I had 2 that didn’t live up to the hype. In S&Bs defense both of those 2 that broke had Premier installed Reticles, so I have no clue if that had anything to do with it. I just didn’t like being without my scopes as long as I was. There are plenty of great scopes to choose from with S&B being without a doubt one of those choices. And just like racing, that extra 3 tenths is gonna cost you a fortune. Is the TT the tits. Yes it is. Is ZCO right behind it and trying to take the title away, maybe. Does Schmidt build and sell some awesome scopes. Yes they do. I don’t shoot for a living. I am not sponsored. I work a job I freaking hate to put food on the table and a support my addiction. I want the best performance for each dollar I have to spend and the vortex AMG does that for me.
And please don’t bring up IOR in a thread about two manufacturers that actually know how to make a scope.
