I have been considering an order for a 10X scope. And i have considered the SS scopes. I have also handled a few of them. But I have not shot them.
I just have a few hangups that I can't seem to get over. They have 3 different 10X scopes. One is $300, one is $400, and one is $800. Now that is on he** of a difference. What did they possibly do to one to make it worth $800 while the other one is worth $300. They do not do a very good job in explaining the difference?? I realize there are a few subtle differences like side focus, but that is just too big of a difference for me. And then the 3X9 is $600?? This just sends up a red flag to me?? I can not back this up with facts---I just do not understand it.
And my second problem with them is that I have been around scopes and rifles for 40 years. And I have seen a lot of bad Tasco's over the years. So I have a hard time spending that much for a Tasco??
Call me COOKY, but I really need to shoot one first. Now Sightron has came out with three fixed power scopes in the SIII line, so I might go with one of them. However to be fair the Sightron and the Super Sniper could be made at the same plant, and at the same standards. Who really knows. Please do not consider this a flame on the Super Sniper scopes. Because I honestly stated that I have not shot one, and that my considerations are based on former biases, not facts. Just for your consideration. Tom.
