I’m about to take the plunge.. It’s down to these two. Both have good features that I like. The toolless feature on the TT seems like a big plus too. S&B been around for awhile and has been proven. And I like the compact package in the US. The TT is only a inch longer though. I just don’t know which one to get. Help me out here. Thanks..
Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta TT315P or Schmidt Bender PMII 3-20x50 Ultra Short

I'm not super impressed by S&B ultrashort series. I'd say go with TT, or Leupold MK5. Kahles always have QC issue with early scope and my friend has seen it personally, avoid it for some time.
What Kahles scopes are you referring to, and have you seen any problems with the K318i?
It was K318i, parallax locked up right out of box, very disappointed. Friend don't let friend buy early Kahles models.
What was about the US you was not impressed with? I’ve never seen or looked through a US. Ive only looked through and played with a 3-27 pmII. Thanks..
That's disappointing to hear, we've sold quite a few K318i scopes and have not had any going back from repair afair. Previous to that, Kahles has evolved as a company overall since the release of the original K624i back in 2012.
I have a TT 3-15P (purchased from CSTactical) and a 5-20 Ultra short. I do not have experience with the 3-20 US. Personally, I like the TT a little more. The TT turrets are much better than anything I've ever used, and I've had a lot of scopes. Everything about the scope is very well thought out. The turrets are perfect, tension on all knobs is perfect, glass clarity is perfect. Only 1 reticle choice on the TT right now, so if you like the Gen2 XR, you are good to go. It's just a fantastic scope. I do like the 5-20 US quite a bit, but I would pick the TT between the two if I could only keep one. As far as the 3-20 US vs the 5-20 US, I would get the 5-20 just because it's much more compact than the 3-20, if that's something that matters to you.
Got the order in for TT315P through Richard of http://www.cstactical.com/. Service is top notch. Why didn’t I go with them in the first place is beyond me.lol.. Thanks for your help and patience to the cs tactical team. And thanks to all who replied to this thread for your thoughts and input. What a great forum.

I’m thinking of piggy backing a micro t1 on this scope. Mounted angle between the elevation and windage turrents. Do you have t1’s in stock?
Got my track # from http://www.cstactical.com/ Tangent Theta 315P is on its way. Can’t wait.. It’s a blind buy for me. But im sure this scope will exceed my expectations. Working with cstsctical team has been tops. Will be my go to shopping for shooting accessories. Stay tuned for some pictures.. thanks all
Scope arrive today. That was fast.. exactly 1 week from putting the order in on the phone to http://www.cstactical.com/, then arriving to my door. That’s fast service. Especially package is traveling all the way to Honolulu. And check out that packaging. CS cuts no corners..
Opening the box, it’s nicely packed with air cushions too. Not a ding on the box. Good job CS Tac.
The TT box is as you can see is sealed. TT manufacture did a fine job to wrapping it up. They don’t mess around too.
Now for the scope... Friggin omg, it is just badass.. The quality build on this thing is tight and precise. It’s true about what the reviews out there with everything positive. The turrets? Best turrets that I’ve played with to date. Better then my atacr’s or the s&b’s I got to play around with IMO. The length of this scope is just right. More mid size, which is perfect since I’m mounting this beast on a new MR762. This scope is surely high end. I’m glad I went this route.
I’ll post more about it when I get it on the gasser and on to the range. Oh btw, the glass, let’s just say I only wish I could use this as a lens to go on my Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera. You know what I mean? ?
Thanks to cs tactical team for you service and help.. ??
