Schmidt & Bender is being used by USMC snipers now, after comparing 25 different scopes.

Just make sure it has at least 4 knobs. Cause that's what snipers use. I'd try to find one w/ 5 or more knobs.

Yep Kahles is good glass

Lol too many knobs

Leupy beats them all on their upper end...the way I figure it...you can get 2 for the price of 1. 2 rifles, 1 scope = no bueno

I haev a Leupold Mark 4, So I'm pretty sure that means they are the best.

My vote also goes to Leupold. That's how it works right?

BMD, the Vortex spokesperson is going to be upset with you since they didn't make the title...just sayin'

Lol prolly right how could I have forgotten

Bushnell looks like a t ball bats on top of the gun

Not as ugly as a Pentax, and a new Leupold aka Loopy will never be on another rifle I own.

WINNER

BSA® Stealth Tactical Big Wheel Scope is a state - of - the - art optical masterpiece!

that thing looks like it would go in a hamster cage.

You could drag your rifle behind you upside down.

Overall S&B but the value choice is Zeiss. Of the others only Swaro belongs in the same class.

Swaro is my choice

Of course, you're a Remington guy so you don't know any better!

Lol, s&b will be prolly my next one for daughters custom, that should make u happy other than it will based on Remington action

Nah, won't make me happy but I bet it will make her! To be honest, Z6i 2.5-15x56 might be my next scope but it will be sitting on a Sako, not some stinking Remington!

1 in.. scopes Swaro ah, zeiss conquest, vortex viper...in that order


30mm..s&b,zeiss, swaro... close your eyes and pick one

Elite 6500 for the money and clarity and durability will get my vote until i find something better which i havnt done yet

Sightron!!

Wait a second, I just placed an order for 2.5-16x50mm Bushnell Elite 6500's...so they must be the best! Couldn't resist the price, $574.99 shipped plus I got $75 in Amazon GC's. 30mm tube and all, now I don't need night vision!!!

I have a Kalhes CL 3-10x50 which I love
having said that, I think a S&B I have been testing has nicer glass than Kahles, ever so slightly

Really, S&B, Kahles, Swaro, Ziess are all a step above optically from Nightforce, USO, IOR, etc..

2 steps above a top of the line Leupold, Nikon, etc..

Between the top 4 I would say get the one that has the features you want and preferably test back to back into very low light.

I recently tested a Kalhes CSX 1.5-6x42 directly against the S&B of the same spec.

The Kalhes was as bright into very, very low light but the S&B had better resolution, meaning for a deer hunter, a set of horns could be better evaluated at last light.

Now, to someone elses eyes, they may feel the opposite..
A good reason to test with your eyes and NOT in a gun store.

Another thing to factor in is how eye friendly the scope is, to me, some are just "easier" to get a good image fast

I would put S&B, US Optics, Zeiss Hensolt and Nightforce in the ring for the better built scopes. Everything else including Swarovski,Kahles and Leupold pale in an overall comparison ( quality of glass, tracking, ruggedness)
