Elmer Fudd 1 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I was looking at getting my self a schmidt and bender scope for my rifle i have seen the reviews and they seem quite good, but i was wondering. for over a £1000 are they really all that they are made out to be?

12borejimbo Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 One of the best scopes out there, infact so good, I'm thinking of buying another! By the way the military use them, Nuff said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 they're lovely, but i didn't like it too much when the £ dropped against the euro and their prices went up by 30% all of a sudden like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuddster Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 They take knocks and bangs and still hold their zero-very predictable adjustments out to 600m. cant fault them-just pleased work provided mine due to initial cost. atb fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The cheaper other makes are improving rapidly, in leaps and bounds, so the difference is becoming less apparant in real terms. Buy one if you want one, but if you haven't got the money to spare don't be put off other makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 In my opinion - yes they are all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
