You saw where I own a Leupold VX6HD, right? Way better than they used to be, but still nowhere near a Schmidt-Bender. Might actually be equal to the S-B in bright sun on a range, but low light, in the woods?

No comparison.

Yeah I agree with Unc Huck. I own Schmidt & Bender and top of the line Zeiss and high end Minox. I’ve owned VX5HD and Vortex viper and top end GPO but sent them down the line. They can’t touch my Klassik or Polar or for that matter even my Trijicon Credos from a lowlight performance standpoint. Yes Leupold has improved but they still aren’t close. And a viper haha that’s comical

Yeah piss on Vortex

Vortex to me is very bright (in the daylight) but the edges of all them have that fishbowl effect. I just pulled the trigger on a Trijicon Huron 3-9x40. Reviews say glass is just as good as the Accupoint, so for $299 it was a no brainer. Fingers crossed.

Where did you find the Huron for $299 ?

Thanks

That’s a great deal on that scope.

I put that huron on a 30-30 i just bought a couple months ago. No complaints so far. I think i paid $100 more though. If i had $700 to spend, i would buy the accupoint. That dot is just hard to beat. I cant seem to leave mine in the safe. You can make the shot way after you can judge the deer.

"AT LEAST TO MY EYE." That VX6 even the MK5 is every bit as good as a S&B my tasco is great until last shooting light per the state of Alabama. Simply saying S&B is the best and everything else is second will not hold water anymore. I've hunted with both absolutely cannot tell the difference between them most can't either but if you think your S&B is better then so be it but like I said to start this dick measuring contest it ain't just euro optics leading the pack anymore...

There's a reason that I don't make these comments when someone is looking for a $300 scope. Once someone asks about one over $1000, then Schmidt-Bender, at least to me, is the clear choice. And no, the Leupold VX6HD ain't close, and costs more to boot.

Ain't got nothing to do with dick measuring. I have compared virtually every brand, from Athlon to Zeiss, side by side, in hunting situations. Probably looked through 50-60 scopes, maybe more, in the last 20 years. Only Swarovski (and older Kahles) comes close, and it ain't really that close at the last 5-10 minutes of legal light on a cloudy day.

I am fortunate to be able to own more than one, but if I could only have one hunting rifle, a Schmidt-Bender scope would be on it.

Edited to add - In the last 20 years or so, I have owned at least 100 scopes. I kept the best, and sold the rest. I have 2-3 Swarovski scopes left, 1 Kahles, and 1 Leupold, the VX6HD. All those could be bought or would trade for similar value S-B.

Good for you opinions are like assholes. You have a favorite it's euro optics it's like ford or Chevy YOU might think that S&B is the greatest of all times but for the majority that don't have an opinion on euro optics will not be able to tell the difference period. Therefore the great European optics are not as great as they once were again the dick measuring was nothing comes close to the S&B and that just isn't true anymore. Fan boys are gonna fan boy I guess

And I guess negative folks are gonna be negative. Have a great day!

For the $$ Meopta is really great glass !! Have them on all my rifles except one and it’s a Leupold !!
