[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 84117, member: 2245"] JUST Me.. propaganda minister.. ha. i like that.. but nope, i just know whats best in the world of optics and have been quite involved in some projects at S&B and Leica. I don't get paid by either, but you are right, i bloody well should.. I haven't broken every type of scope, personaly ive had Hakko, Swarovski,Doctor Optic and Leupold fail on me(plus a few other cheapo jap things) but i have seen scopes from most of the manufactureres having QC problems and failures, I was at one point mounting perhaps 20 to 30 scopes per week on hunting and target rifles, equal numbers of cheapo scopes and expensive ones. the percentage of failures was simply the Lowest in the S&B. Keep your eye on the scope that the US Army eventualy end up with as a Sniper rifle scope, If some penny pinching arm chair REMF doesn't have the final say, i know what its gonna be.. with regards to prices. yes there is some difference in what we pay over here for our optics and what you guys do. some examples:at todays exchange rate. 1 Euro = 1.19839 USD Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 recomended retail price. dealer price shop around 2,390.80 USD 2,054.05 USD 2,250 USD NXS 5.5-22x56 retail Dealer shop around 2,189.47 USD 1,865.90 USD 2,050 USD Leupold 6.5-20x50 M1 retail trade shop around 1,671.76 USD 1,355.39 USD 1,560 USD Schmidt & Bender 4-16x50PMII single turn/ paralax. 2,033.68 USD my retail price, Ive sold em at $1950 ish before at a favourable echange rate) ( recomended retail 2,347.66USD) can you now see why financialy it makes sense for me to buy and recomend S&B, thier superiority aside. my next choice after S&B would be the Zeiss Conquest then Nikkon.
