[QUOTE="Guest, post: 82679"] [b]Re: Ric\'s optic comparison[/b] Keep in mind this is my opinion... take that for what it is worth.. LOL... OK Models all put to 12X S&B 3-12 PMII 34 mm tube 50mm obj Nikon 4-16 Tactical 30mm tube 50mm obj Nightforce 3-15 NXS 30 mm tube 50 mm obj USO Sn-3 3.2-17 ( not my scope ) 30mm tube 44mm obj Lupy 6.5-20 M1 30mm tube 50mm obj daytime conditions we sunny and bright about 75* looking at sage colored hills and distant forest. nighttime was with NO moon looking at distant houses and lights. Also the length of time before you could not see anything in the sage. Brightness 1. S&B 2. Nikon, NXS 3. Lupy 4. USO Contrast 1. S&B 2.NXS 3. Nikon, Lupy 4. USO Clarity 1. S&B 2.USO, Nikon 3. NXS 4. Lupy Low light ablity 1. S&B 2. Nikon, 3 NXS, lupy 4. USO Reticles. 1. NXS 2. USO 3. S&B 4 lupy, nikon S&B need options like the NXS Turrets... overal ( with exceptions ) 1. S&B the turrets have very close clicks but the Yellow window keep syou without question knowing where you are at at all times! 2. USO big large EREK knob is incredible I didn't like the cap for it though! 3. NXS zero stop and very positive clicks keep syou informed at all times. 4 Nikon and lupy about the same lupy is stiffer but Nikon feels more positive. Side focus. 1. S&B, NXS 2. USO 3 Lupy 4. Nikon ( seems to remain near the infinity make within a dot or 2 after 300 yards. I have to make a statment concerning the lowlight portion... if you can have a lit ret. it is well worth every penny for a hunting situation. the lowlight gathering abiltity and the ability to see the target in lowlight was doen without the lit ret. options. if I had to rate the lit ret. 1. S&B 2. USO 3. NXS speaking of strictly long range hunting... I would ( if money wasn't and option ) S&B NXS USO Nikon Lupy Money being considered NXS Nikon Lupy I have to say thought the NXS is kind of and in between ( $1150 ish ) NIkon and lupy at about $900 ish if in fact the Nikon had the lit ret. in 4-16 it would be just after the NXS because of the zero stop if nikon had the Zero stop I would choose it above the NXS ok if ya need any explainations or more details let me know.
