First time posting here, was drawn to the site after listening to the podcasts about the scope evaluations.
I’m looking for a scope with true alpha glass and a 56mm objective to gather light in the twilight time period, ideally with turrets and a decent lit reticle.
I’ve bought and sold several high end scopes over the last several years, from Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18x56, Tangent Theta 5-25x56, ZCO 4-20x50. All of them had issues holding zero, travel across the country and you’d almost always have to adjust a click or two. Currently running several Nightforce scopes, including a couple 5-25x56 ATACR’s, primarily because of their reliability. But in my opinion the glass doesn’t measure up to the Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18x56 at first light / last light, and the reticles aren’t the greatest.
Does the Schmidt & Bender 3-27x56 or 5-25x56 have comparable reliability and ability to hold zero to the Nightforce?
Any other 56mm objective scopes I should be looking at?
