Schmidt And Bender 8X56


Recommended Posts

Hi all about to get my new rifle and it's topped with a schmidt and bender klassik 8x56 hungarian. My question is will it be a good lamping scope. I currently have a Redfield revolution scope and it'd great but sometimes struggle whilst lamping. Is the S+B likely to be better.

 

Regards

S&B are pretty much one of the best if not the best scope brands you can buy. That's why most police forces and professional snipers use them.

 

Can't comment on the particular model other than I know it's a low end model, but you won't go far wrong with S&B as a brand.

 

BTW, I take it from this post, you won the lottery. ;)

I wish lol. I a cracking deal for my .22-250. I went and had a look at a preety much new steyr mannlicher pro hunter .243 and it's has new s+b scope and new T8 mod. He wanted a .22-250 so came to a deal of £350 cash and my zastava setup for the steyr. Happy days so he's basically give me £650 for my setup and I've give him a grand for his. Well happy can't wait for the ticket to come back now with the variation on. The steyr is all paid for and 200 rounds so as you can imagine the ticket can't come quicker lol

If it's brand new you got a very very good deal. The scope alone is £950 on Uttings's website: http://www.uttings.co.uk/p105544-schmidt-and-bender-classic-fixed-power-hungarian-8x56-30mm-ir-rifle-scope/#.VaYuIfl66Fs

 

Even if it turned out to be naff, which I very much doubt, I reckon you could sell it 2nd hand for a good price and enough to buy a Nikon or similar.

They're the illuminated reticle ones on Uttings. I have IR on my Docter scope, but never use it. Non IR Hungarian S&Bs are about £500 new and worth every penny IMO.

 

Can't think of many people (except perhaps Charlie Caller) :laugh: who would sell a S&B to buy a Nikon.
