eddoakley Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 So what is the difference between the two?? apart from the price of course..... The german is about £100 more than the hungarian, why? How come theres so much difference in the same spec, size and manufacturer but with just the one difference?......

bullet boy Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 same parts, same lenses, same QA, same quarantee .... different factories / labour cost. And only certain models made in H .... Seeker is right.They are the same components assembled in Hungary.I got a S&B 8x56 Hungarian-Brilliant scope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Still dont get why there is such a difference, surely the labour cost cant be the only thing? if so they would all be made in hungary and sold at the higher price ?? Opticswarehouse seem to have sbf856 for 635 and the same model but 'H' for 525 £110 cheaper for H with same spec and guarantee.... Dont get it!!!!

Lol, hahaha perhaps steve should get one, after the last time i shot with him i thought he needed a new scope!!! havent you got yours on a 10/22 or am i getting mixed up?? Isnt it a bit ott for that? I would love to put one on all of my rifles but will have to settle for one for one of the centrefires for now(.308 or .243) I reckon its just about perfect for stalking so will prob go on the .308. Cheers Edd BTW anyone selling one cheap? Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yes your right I have got mine on my 10/22 and it does the job really well.Because I've only got one CF rifle I wanted this scope so much so put it on my Rimfire.

garygreengrass Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I got the Hungarian model and a mate of mine got the German model when you look though them you cant tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elby Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The difference used to be that he Greman one had 30mm tube and the Hungarian 25mm I think now they are both 30mm, might be worth checking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 All the variable ones as far as I know are German (at least they have Germany etched on them). The fixed mag ones are available from Hungary and Germany. You can def. get 30mm Hungarian fixed mag as well as 25mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
