Thermal is the big thing around here for night yotes.
The Klassiks are the current production versions of long-time S&B model series, available in variable and, like in this case, fixed power configuration. The 6x42 has been a popular all-rounder as a compromise for all hunting, particularly before variables became common. The "Hungaria" designated scopes are assembled in Hungary: https://revivaler.com/schmidt-and-bender-hungaria-rifle-scopesI do not know if I saw this in this thread or another. Has anyone had experience with this scope? Has anyone in the US used this supplier?
Good to know, both about the site and the fees and tariff.It's one of the better known sites for good prices in quality optics inside the EU, along with optics-world.nl (which sells that same scope for €511.57 tax free for export, btw) and a number of others. Remember to include shipping and import duties to the US when you compare prices to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Compared to my 700(on sale) dollar zeiss..... surprisingly close optically, turrets are squishier tho.How bout them Burris FF 2s?
I just mounted one on my new Rem Model 7 and ordered another for a Weatherby.Compared to my 700(on sale) dollar zeiss..... surprisingly close optically, turrets are squishier tho.
Ive actually GOT My FFe1 on the rifle the Zeiss would normally ride on.
In my experience, saying "I can't afford it" is usually wrong, it's closer to say "that's not a priority for me". I know people that buy cheap scopes that own expensive cars. I understand there are very poor people out there that cannot afford the scopes. I get that. There are far more people out there that choose to put their money elsewhere.
When I see people at the range with a >$40K truck and a $200 scope, I just have to remind myself that everyone's priorities are different and that's OK. It's their money and none of my business what they do with it. It doesn't mean that I understand it.
In a situation like that, 2 is 1 and 1 is none no matter the quality/price.All who have gone on an African Safari, please raise your hands... I'm not trying to be smart, and I'm really glad that you've been on African Safaris, would be an awesome experience, however like @chicharrones stated totally different animal (pun intended). If I were spending $20,000+ (travel, tags, PH fees, room and board) on an African Safari my rifle and glass combo probably would be in the $5,000+ range.
True. Some $600 scopes are just as mediocre as $300 scopes. Caveat emptor; $600 can buy very good glass that's well beyond anything in cheaper price brackets.Why spend 600 when I can spend 300 for nearly the same results?
