Thread: scope decision

hi guys

i am faced with a decision that is making my head explode with all the different opinions out there
basically i need a new scope for
90% evil paper shooting 10% hunting if that
clarity is top of the list
nightforce or schmidt & bender ??? what do you guys think?
or something else available in nz
as i havn't imported anything before so would know where to start

thanks for you input

NightForce but then Im biased

If you are thinking that sort of money I'd get the S&B.

striker why nightforce??

jakewire why the s&b

March is another great one,
What sort of distance are you looking at shooting?

If clarity is truly top of your list then Nightforce is well out. S&B would be far superior glass wise as would Zeiss (Victory/Diavari). Certainly outta my price range so might be best to wait for some of the others to pitch in. I think you need to give a few more details as to what you want it to do too like magnification needs and the sort of distances you intend to shoot to for starters.
Importing is very easy too and is usually worth while when looking at top end product like you have suggested.

Clarity of Glass

Premier Recticles is also another quality option and is high on my own want list.

Sightron S111 is possibly the best option for the budget conscious. Very little given up against the big boys for a lot less.

hi kiwijames is there any nz sellers of premier recticales?

I've been looking at the S&B but also the Premier. I couldn't find an NZ dealer for the Premier, hopefully some one will know how to get one.

Just a thought but I think one of the West Coast boys has got one, could be wrong, can't find the post.

None that I know of. It's a global marketplace now though and you can't go too wrong with Alex at Welcome to EuroOptic.com - EuroOptic.com.
Baldbob and The Claw are two guys who could give you an honest evaluation of the Premier Recticles.
