Upgrading Scope, S&B or Leupold Mk6?

[MPower]

The Mark 8 CQBSS gets great marks but is over priced.

I feel the Mk6 is overpriced too! Maybe better to be around $2200!

I'd say if you're close to us come in and check out the US Optic scopes. We are now stocking a few

I'll work on a pic of the 3.2-17 and the 1.8-10 on an AR

I wish I was close to you, I'd be there all the time! Unfortunately I'm in Gangcouver. A pic of the 3.2-17 would be great! And that 5-25 is f**king huge! LOL.

You are looking for a march 2.5-25x42 and don't know it yet. Great eye relief, crystal clear, compact, rugged. Anything else?

Thanks for the pictures. The size of the S&B 3-12 looks great on the AR. I too would prefer a smaller objective lens, 42 or 44 would be perfect. Too bad S&Bs don't come that small. That's why the Leupold Mk6 was so appealing to me 12" length and 44mm objective.

How was the glass on the S&B 3-20? Any improvements since it's the newest model? What did you think of the 50mm eyepiece?

I think the S&B 3-20 comes with the MTC and double turn turrets as standard. The only thing is it's 15" long!

You mean like the S&B 1-8x24 PM II ShortDot

or the 4-16x42 PMII/LP

Here's one of the 1.5-6 on an AR and as you can see from the bottom pic the 5-25 might be a little big

Wow, that pic really puts the size of the USO 5-25 TPAL in perspective

Thanks for the tip. I did look into them. $2200 US for non-illuminated FFP and $2800 for illuminated FFP. Just a couple of hundred less than the S&B. Seems to get really great reviews on their glass clarity/quality. But one common re-occurring issue they always talk about was the warranty. Only 5 years! They are probably the best scope coming out of Japan, but to shell out $2800 and gamble on a relatively new company with a 5 year warranty is beyond justifyable. Another unknown is how durable they truly are. They are quite light so I'm not sure how they can compare to the build quality of the S&Bs and NFs.
