Just got email notification from Euro. 2nd Focal plane, illuminated duplex, 3-18. $2900.

If it’s durable and high quality glass what do y’all say?

I think I would rather have the $1360 3-12 Klassik with the P3L reticle and FFP…

I don’t need an 18x scope that doesn’t have some sort of windage hashmarks.

I think Id prefer their p3 or p4 reticle and ffp on an 18x scope if for no other reason than holding wind, but I’ll bet its a nice scope.

Glad they are working on hunting rifles. I'm going to nitpick but the turret is too tall and will snag on my pack straps and whatnot. 18x is not worth it over 15x if it means it fish-eyes at lower power like the review says.

Rifle Scopes - S&b 3-18x42

This seem interesting. Sfp but a little over 24oz. I was looking on their site and saw it. https://www.schmidtundbender.de/phocadownload/datenblaetter/3-18x42_EN.pdf

Theres a favourable review at the end of this thread......

I’ve been watching this scope for years. Reticle was a big let down for holding wind. I wouldn’t pay that money unless it checked all my boxes and it sadly missed some. Would still like to play with one sometime! Bet it’s amazing to look through.

It's more X's than I need, but I could live with that. Like others, FFP and a measured hunting reticle are what I would like in it.

 

[Pronghunter]

Lack of wind on reticle definitely a no go for me.
I’d stick with the EXOS

IIRC, these came out sometime back. I have been in contact with S&B via emails about an FFP version; they say it is in the works. I feel like all of the euro scope companies are offering a comparable model, and all in SFP.

I’ve had the meta on back order from optics planet for eight months now. Don’t think I’ll ever see it at this point. But who knows. I was in it for the glass quality and 18 times magnification for Identification purposes.

Picked up a Meta and mounted it to a custom 6.5 PRC Defiance/Proof/Manners build - It’s a very light weight optic with amazing clarity and field of view. The fit and finish is very good. My model has the capped windage with the pisicon turret. Not my favorite turret to be honest…but the tactile feel and audible click is really nice. May have gripped about the reticle and its lack of sub-tensions. I don’t disagree with the concerns. However, I will say that the optic does an amazing job tracking and the simple reticle allows for super quick acquisition of targets. To compensate for the lack of reticle ranging, S&B makes an elevation turret with prepopulated sub-tensions, or you can do like I did, and build a rock solid dope card. For me, weight was a big consideration as was the magnification range. The Meta fits the bill nicely at a decent price point…There aren’t make 20ozish optics with this performance and features.
