Just got a 4-25 and have not gotten it outside yet but the controls on this thing are fantastic.

They already make one... It's called the LRP S5...I'm afraid, like all manufacturers seem to do with a popular product, they're going to blow them out now, discontinue them, release an "updated" version at about $3100, and try and sell them based on their popularity now. Call it a hunch.
does it bother you at all how tall the elevation turret is as far as target Aquisition?? i am looking very hard at this optic for my dasher.Mount it before calling the eye box "very unforgiving". I have used mine in matches in many different positions and don't find that at all. It's pretty easy to get behind.
They aren't tall at all. Not sure why people always say this about the S3. No taller than the Burris Pro or similar scopes. Below is a pic of the Steiner, Burris Pro and S3. Hard to hold all close but you can see they aren't overly tall. But to answer your question no there is no problem finding targets with the elevation knob. I run them on my centerfire and rimfire match rifles.does it bother you at all how tall the elevation turret is as far as target Aquisition?? i am looking very hard at this optic for my dasher.
They are tall compared to the T6Xi turrets which look more reasonable to me. Personal preference.
Agreed. The Zeiss turrets are so easy to dial. I wish the T6Xi turrets were just a bit taller for gloved use.They are maybe a 1/4" taller and the pic is a little misleading by the angles and how I tried to hold the rifles up. The S3 turrets are not overly tall. I will say they are easier to grab and spin than the T6XI.
Solid choice.Contemplating getting the 4-25 S3 for my GAP10. I just pulled a ATACR 5-25 off and it was very disappointing…. Has zeiss worked out some issues with these?
You mean those non-existent issues that the internet loves to repeat and gossip about, but those of us who actually own them have yet to experience personally? Sure, why not...Contemplating getting the 4-25 S3 for my GAP10. I just pulled a ATACR 5-25 off and it was very disappointing…. Has zeiss worked out some issues with these?

Yes, it's a phenomenal scope. I've had my 6-36x for about a year now, no issues, great scope.
You'll enjoy it. Excellent glass. I also have a 5-25x56 ATACR F1 MIL-XT and other than the glass being a bit neutral (not very bright), the tunneling affect (constricted internal FOV inside the scope), and the Parallax that even Ray Charles could tell you was way off, it's a great scope. Some people don't mind those things, but my eyes like brighter glass, and I prefer the internal FOV of the scope to be edge-to-edge, and not like I'm looking through a paper towel roll. The parallax being so far off is just a travesty...They really need to fix that, i'm not the only one who's griped about that. To get a clear image at 100 yards, I have to set mine around 60 yards. Also, the whole entire rotating eyepiece is retarded and needs to be replaced with just a moving ring and a stationary ocular, like every other scope on planet earth.Haha I kinda figured as much. Looking at the 4-25 for my GAP10.

Did you play with the diopter at all or only the parallax?Good day so I had a look at a zeiss s3 4-25 and Leupold mark 5hd in a shop and too me the Leupold looked a lot better couldn’t really focus the zeiss at further distances do you guys think it was a defected scope or does the Leupold just have better glass.
Can’t speak to Mark 5 glass but routinely take that exact Zeiss past 1000 yds and have never had a focus issue. If properly adjusted and you can’t focus could be a defect.Good day so I had a look at a zeiss s3 4-25 and Leupold mark 5hd in a shop and too me the Leupold looked a lot better couldn’t really focus the zeiss at further distances do you guys think it was a defected scope or does the Leupold just have better glass.
Inside a store you can't really tell anything. The Zeiss has better glass than the MK5HD. That's been noted on here by many folks. I'm also betting you didn't check the diopter to ensure it was properly set before trying to adjust the parallax.Good day so I had a look at a zeiss s3 4-25 and Leupold mark 5hd in a shop and too me the Leupold looked a lot better couldn’t really focus the zeiss at further distances do you guys think it was a defected scope or does the Leupold just have better glass.
EO just raise the price from $1700 to $1800 for the demos.
I didn't want to say it but almost certainly correct.They are likely brand new and had the seal cut. It's how companies get around MAP.
If the upper magnification is your main concern then the 6-36 would be the way to go vs the 4-25 as the 6-36 will be no issue at all up to 30xI can't decide between the S3 4-25 or S3 6-36.....
Which one has the more forgiving eyebox? ..... especially in the upper 1/3 of their magnification range??
No, that's the only scope I'm aware of that has turrets like that.Can you zero it in finer increments than 1/10 mil kinda like the Razor G3??
Question.
I picked up a used S3 425.
As per the seller, the scope was purchased about a year ago.
When the illumination is turned on, the christmas tree appears speckled with red/green. I can see this at any brightness setting. Is this "normal" or is this the reticle bloom I read about earlier in the thread?
Yessir. I didn't get the scope until 9 PM last night so it was dark outside.Did you only look at it inside?
So who has the best prices on the S3 6-36?
