g13 0 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Was told the schmidt & bender 3-12x50 is one of the best scopes for foxing at night for the money, for anybody who has one or another schmidt & bender are they really worth the money? :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't generally take pics but this was for a new client so...... Edited November 3, 2013 by Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lower power scopes usually win in the night shooting game the meopta 7x50 fix power are very popular and there not to pricey. Ive a few friends who love burris for there foxing rigs.

andyf 144 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 In short 'expensive' scopes are not 'worth' the money. (Any of them S&B Leupold, Nightforce, Ziess etc etc) However; Are they any good, YES THEY ARE Are they better than a 'cheap' scope YES THEY ARE So you pay yours money!! An old keeper friend of mine used to say 'Spend your money on the scope and the change on the rifle'. AndyF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roundmouth86 251 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I have a german shmidt for sale its a 6x42 if anybody fancies a new scope its only fired 14 rounds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireblade_rrw 20 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) My advice as always is, burst the bank on the scope. Swaro, Zeiss, SB, Docter all have outstanding optics. Are they worth £1000 +? of course not, but buying anything with less quality is a big compromise. Edited November 12, 2013 by fireblade_rrw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
