Rifle Scopes S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

[sititunga]

Update: Apparently some units are being shipped in for trials this month and the first units will be here in June. The first few shipments of scopes are already spoken for through the huge number of advance orders S&B have received. The retail price is set at $2599.

Well that's a little better than leupy's price of $4,000.

Hopefully early June so we can use them at the Topton 3 gun match.

I've been looking forward to this. It's got to be one of the most versatile scopes on the market....er..... when it actually hits the market.

I have been waiting for this, so that we can see the SB side by side with the Leupold and Premier

I'm waiting for them to hit the used section. Not that many will make it there, or last long when they do.

One can dream...

There are enough Leupolds in private hands to do side by side.

Re: S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

According to S&B the first three shipments are already spoken for. It's going to take them some time to catch up with backorders after that because the demand is very high.

Re: S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

I would reconsider the Leupold if (1) they revised the street price to be around $2600, and (2) they offered the red dot/Horus reticle that was at SHOT in 2010 or another reticle with a red dot at low magnification. Without a red dot it's just not very useful at 1.1x.

Re: S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

I was told May 6 for the Mark 8 with the horus, they(Leupold) said it is not a dot but a horseshoe?? I am not expecting the price to go down until the mil contracts are completed or some competition comes out.

Re: S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

Are the Mil-Dot CC and P3 reticles the only ones being offered?

Re: S&B 1-8 Short-Dot

S&B have pulled wholesale pricing for now. Germany says that there is a price increase coming for both the 1-8 and 3-20. Too bad, they seemed to have value (as compared to the CRAZY Leupold pricing). I'm going to put two on order with the understanding that they won't be coming in until later this year, xmas? and it will be more than the previous amount.

The 1-8 looks to be just too cool not to check out.
