second focal plane long range scope?

[Rich Coyle]

Is there a quality long range scope that is SFP with a wide magnification range?

 

[ShtrRdy]

Nightforce is mostly SFP

How much magnification are you looking for?

Swaro, Zeiss, and Leica are SFP, and the Zeiss V8 line is an 8x magnification range. One example is the 2.8-20x56. Swaro z8i comes in 2.3-18x56.

Hello,

S&B Makes a SFP scope and as mentioned already....most NXS are also SFP.

I was thinking maybe 40 or so. I had a12-42X56 NSX but sold it because it was too heavy for what I was doing at the time. It was by far the best scope I ever owned.

Thanks, guys. I enjoyed looking at their web sights.

It looks like the March 5-50X56 could be the one.

The 5-45X56 looks good, but at $5400 it's out of my comfortable price range.

Hello,

YES the S&B are HIGH!!!

Also..just FWIW....the warranty differences between March and S&B is 15 years difference.
March has 5 year and S&B has 20 year USA warranty.

I have never looked through a March but read lots of good things about them. I did get to compare my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 with a S&B 12-50X. The other guy found a Toyota pickup about a mile away and told me he was focused on it. Since the only scope ever to display better glass than my Bushnell was my Nightforce 12-50X56 I thought this one would be a little better also. Once I could easily read "Toyota" I then switched to his scope. WOW! is the reaction. Like the first time I looked through some Swarovski 8.5X binoculars.

If you won't be too rough on it you might consider a Leupold competition scope like the benchrest guys use. That would probably be the lightest option.
