This would be a good question for Koshkin. I think he said some improvements were evident in the SIII series, but I don't remember for sure. Hopefully he will chime in and give some insight. I have yet to see an SIII here, and therefore am pretty useless.

No, Bruce is too busy promoting the SI line yet. He must have a higher mark-up on them or something. When I was looking at Conquests, he was trying to push that SI on me. I told him I know what I want, and he didn't have it. Too bad for him. I did see the other day that they just got a bunch of new optics in though. They now carry more Leica and Zeiss stuff than before.

I think SIII has slightly better resolution. I am generally very impressed with the newly redesigned SIII. Also, SIII has a lot more adjustment range for long range shooting.
Like most things in life, in the end it comes down to money: if you can afford SIII, get it. If you can't get SII Big Sky, it is almost as good for a fair bit less. ILya |

The Big Sky SII is as good as the SIII for low light conditions however the SIII has more adjustments for long range work.Both are premium rifle scopes.
