I agree.Rain is a little different, you can see a long ways away through rain.

I have 3 S&B PM2s the latest one bought a year ago. I haven't noticedIMO, there is no advantage, other than to tell people you own a $3,000 scope. Plus, if you look through a modern S&B, they are now using some yellow lens coating and everything looks yellow tinted... Not an attractive quality, IMO...Looks like you're looking through a 1980's Tasco, at 300x the price tag.
Well, I've had several people tell me they were trying something new with the yellow lens coating, and that it was in fact something S&B did on purpose. Maybe they only did it for a very short time, but I do have other witnesses there who were there, and also looked through all 6 of them, and said the same thing. Might have been a defective batch, but either way, I wouldn't have even bought one it was so bad. Shocked me pretty bad, too.I have 3 S&B PM2s the latest one bought a year ago. I haven't noticed
If S&B only offers a 2 year warranty, you can bet your *** I'll never spend $4000 on one of their scopes. That's like drunk-marrying a random Vegas stripper in a drive-through chapel...And not having a pre-nup. Your odds just aren't looking good, in more than 1 way.Years ago I bought a Tasco world class thinking how could I go wrong with the no fault warranty. Hiking up the mountain before daylight I got my feet tied up in some brush the rifle on my shoulder went flying forward and landed on the scope. It was still dark so I couldn't inspect for damages. Later in the morning I spotted a decent Muley and went to take a shot. That is when I noticed that eyepiece was bent down towards the bolt. I couldn't even open the bolt without removing the scope.
I sent the scope in thinking it would be replaced. They sent the same scope back with the main tube partially straightened. Not a new one or fully repaired, you could visually see the bend in it. It went straight on the trash.
Guess my point is that a warranty is only as good as the company that backs it up.
Have you ever been to Vegas? All I'm saying is not to speak of things you know nothing about...she may be getting the bad end of that deal!That's like drunk-marrying a random Vegas stripper in a drive-through chapel...And not having a pre-nup. Your odds just aren't looking good, in more than 1 way.
