What can you tell me about Super Sniper Scopes?

[royinidaho]

I agree with all that is said above.

I know nothing about the HD model. But a SS for the same price as a Conquest, nah - just wouldn't do it.

The only downer with the SS is that they are useless in low light conditions. The 40mm objective is too small and in the high country even at mid day when a side of a mountain is shaded it just didn't cut the mustard. For bright light shooting, matches etc, its top notch.

Here, we have the 10X which is better on light but suffers for distance. The 16X suffered with light transmission but was great for LRH when bright. The 16X was replaced with a Conquest 5.5-20 X 50 and there are no regrets.

I'd take Mike's comments with a grain of salt as he is a competing dealer. He's done the same thing on countless threads over at ar15.com and snipershide.com and usually gets slammed for it.

In regards to the new 3-9x42 and 10x42 HD, listen to the people that have actually used one or even seen one. These are totally different animals compared to the other SS scopes. Different factory, different glass, coatings, etc. They share no common parts with the $300. fixed powers.

This guy knows a little about scopes.

Super sniper rifle scopes are just about the toughest fixed power scopes in their price range. they track true and repeatable. They will pass the box test over and again. they come in 10x, 16x, 20x, 3x-9x, and 10xHD. The 10xHD is far and away their best product. You won't find better glass than the 10xHD for less than 1000.00. I don't know about the other brand you were asking about. What I do know is that if a fixed power scope will fit your needs, you can't go wrong with a super sniper. Especially if you get the 10x with the HD glass.

If you want a better scope than a super sniper you will have to spend more money!!!

Guys, the new 3-9 and 10X HD have nothing other than name in common with the older cheap fixed power scopes. I had no interest in those scopes but have picked up a 3-9 for the "little rifle:"



I'm quite impressed with it so far. Of course most here want higher powers for long range--the 3-9 fits more in the "all around but long range capable" role. But for anybody considering say, a 3.5-10X Mk IV or 2.5-10X NF you'd be crazy not to consider the SS for the value it offers. I don't have any experience with the NF, but I can tell you you'd have to be nuts to pay nearly 3 times as much for the Leupold when I feel the SS is better in most ways.

Just my opinion....

I hope they come out with a higher powered scope with side focus and good glass. It could compete with Sightron for the mid range awesome scope niche.

Nice looking rig there Jon A.
Those rings look really low. What are they? Are they as low as they look?

I just got the SS 10x HD.

If anyone is worried that the internals won't compare to a Leupold, you needn't.
Glass is pretty nice too.

From what I've read from a respected source after using them side by side, a 'issue' Leupy comes up short.

Tough to beat the 3-9 when it is ffp and it is mil/mil. for 600 dollars. Was looking at the mark4 but after everything i have read and looked through the ss is going to be the purchase now i have 600 dollars more to spend on ammo.
