35mm scopes are a little better optically, but the difference is not huge.  Generally, once you get into a reasonably high price range optical differences are very incremental (diminishing returns).  While 35mm IORs are better with their 6x erector and marginally better glass, they are also more expensive.  I think 2.5-10x42 IOR with 30mm tube and FFP is an excellent scope for a good price.

 35MM Scopes are better optically ????   Did you mean 30mm tube ?  What a mis-statement !   That is just a european standard manufactured to try to get more light before the newer high end optics were made . I'm sure you did'nt mean a small 35mm diameter lens is better in any respect .

I stand corrected. I was just informed by one of Uncle Sam's higher-ups, that you are correct. I guess I am showing my age. Technology today is advancing so quickly, that I didn't realize S&B got the military contract. I apologize to all that I may offended. God Bless.

WOW!!!!

 

Somebody drank way too much of the "Kool Aid..."

You are in Europe correct? Can you elaborate on a specific S&B model?
