barney 66 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi,i am currently looking for a decent scope as mentioned on previous posts,ive been offered an ex demo Zeiss diatal 8x56ir at a good price,with full warranty,how do these compare in your opinions to The S&B 8x56,as for price the hungarian S&B is around the same money as the Zeiss ive been offered,The Zeiss on the spec seems slightly lighter which is a bonus but i,m looking for the best scope out of the two and your opinions would be greatly appreciated. I cannot view them in the conditions i will be using them in hence the reasons i'm after good honest advice,and i i'm sure i'm asking in the right place, Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie g Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 go for it if the zeiss is a good price. there isn't much in the top end makes. I prefer zeiss though. I have a couple of zeiss scopes and a fixed mag s&b Hungarian and well its superb i think the zeiss just pips it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Have a look through both of you can. I have never used a S&B but looked through a couple of PM2s, nice scopes. However I have used Ziess for over 20 years, superb optically in all lights, I have 2 small 3x9x36s and a set in 7x42 binos. You wont regret going for the Ziess.
