I don’t think anyone makes rigs for it though. And you better get the SFP version otherwise the reticule will be non-existent at low power and will be all you see at high power. Great for those 1000 light year shots though.

Until they make a usable lit reticle and zero stops, the S&B is a better choice than the hubble. Its also a little heavy.

Re: Your optic choice!
For .308 shooting it'd be the Hensoldt 3-12x56 FFP or the Premier 3-15x50 DT Gen 2 Mil-Dot.
For .300WM or higher, it'd be Premier 5-25X56 DT Gen 2 XR or Hensoldt 6-24X74 (I'm assuming for really long range shooting 1,500yds plus).

Re: Your optic choice!
I would like to take the best features from several of the top scopes. Start with a S&B PM II 5-25x56, add USO's MIL GAP reticle with red illumination, and Hensoldt quality glass, and I would have the Reticle illumination knob incorporated into the focus knob like Premier does.
That would my perfect scope.

Schmidt 4-16x50 on my current 20" rifle.
I like the 5-25x56 also, but just didnt need that much mag.
Wouldnt mind trying one of the FFP Hensoldt's, but I really like the P4f reticle.

Re: Your optic choice!
USO. Quality, durability, customizability and customer service are fantastic.

Re: Your optic choice!
For what purpose? I really like my Premier 5-25x56 however it like anything else not a do-all optic. For CQB or my 30-30 a Premier wouldn't even sit in my top five.

Re: Your optic choice!
Yes, the question really needs a context. For a .308 I would probably get the new S&B 3-20x50. I loved the flexibility of the IOR 3-18 I used to have.

Re: Your optic choice!
for my SSG: Hensoldt ZF500 10x42
for my AE: S&B 3-12x50 PMII/P or Hensoldt 3-12x56 SSG-P
and for shits and giggle: Zeiss 6-24 x 72 SAM (Hubble)

Yes, but I don't think I count as I've just recently been able to afford my first NF scope. Absolutely love it, but if price wasn't an issue I would propably join ranks with the S&B fans. Two reasons, better glass and the fact that NF only offers FFP on the 3,5-15 model.

Re: Your optic choice!
I have S&B's, Hensoldt, and have had most of the high end optics made, If NF had more neg diopeter I'd be running an F1 right now.

Re: Your optic choice!
From what I've seen and used....USO or NF.
I've looked through S&B's and wasn't impressed.
Never even seen a PH.
Swarovski's are exceptional glass...if you can get one with a tactical reticle.
Zeiss is right up there as well...but I'm not even thinking about the price tag on the higher end stuff. The Conquest is as rich as my blood can get with that name.

Re: Your optic choice!
I would love to have another NF NXS 5.5-22x50 Mildot, but I don't want to go the same route again to get one... especially since I am married now.

US Optics.
Pick the application and I'll tell you what I'd have them whip up for me.

Re: Your optic choice!
Either Hensodlt 4-16 or USO 3.2-17 with Horus reticle h25, 27, or 37. You really don't need magnification higher than that. And with those reticles holdoffs are too easy and accurate. Now if Horus could only pull their heads out and send optic makers god reticles................

Re: Your optic choice!
I wanna put my EREK, leftside windage and illuminated MPR Reticle on an S&B 5-25 and still get a USO Girls Calendar... I wonder how much its gonna cost?

You are SPOT on.
I'd do the same, but differently. I'd put the Milestone and left side windage on a Premier 5.5-22x with 50mm ERGO Obj.
No chance, regarless of how much it would cost, of that.
In the world of reality, PH gets my vote. But I've never had a Hensoldt.
