[QUOTE="Jhcz, post: 1616357, member: 86028"] I am lucky to have about 6 S&B (2 Zenith & 4 PM ll), 2 Steiner, 2 Swarovksi, 1 Kahles, 1 Nikon (have 3 kids that shoot longe range). I would rank them: 1. S&B & Kahles (Kahles is owned by Swarovski) 2. Swarovski 3. Steiner 4. Nikon (do not care for this one but it is on a 22LR rifle so it does not matter) Based on my eyes the glass is probably the best on the Kahles but not by much as compared to the S&B. All are fairly new models. Friend of my who is a retired sniper shooter had a custom long range rifle built by a very well known rifle maker. The rifle was delivered to him this week - custom loads, new Swarovski scope (latest model adopted for this rifle). Ha has not yet shot it but he is already contemplating about putting a new S&B on this rifle. However, as many said, the expensive scopes may not be necessary for normal hunting purposes and they could be a complete waist of money for that purpose. On the other hand, if you want to shoot Prairie Dogs at 600 to 1000 yards you better have a good scope and a good rifle. Finally, most of us have different quality eyes and the older we get the more help we may need. There are also many good technical scope reviews and good info on various sniper forums such as: [URL]https://precisionrifleblog.com/2018/12/21/best-scope/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
