furrybean Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Why doesn't anyone use the 5-30 swaro? It never gets a mention compared to NF, S&B etc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Why doesn't anyone use the 5-30 swaro? It never gets a mention compared to NF, S&B etc??I do. The glass quality blows the NF away and equals if not slightly betters the S&B.The only reason everyone doesn't use and rave about them is because Swarovski build them as hunting scopes and flat out refuse to cater to long range target shooters. As such, they don't have enough vertical adjustment meaning you need to put mounts on with a fair amount of MOA built in if you plan to shoot 1000. The other reason is that they don't do mil reticules. I personally love my BR ballistic reticle and find it quick, easy and accurate on my .223 from 100 to 800m without having to touch the turrets. However, I'm not trying to shoot ridiculously tight groups to win competitions. Â In my opinion, if you hunt creatures then there's no finer scope. However if you hunt paper or steel then until Swarovski realise that target shooters are a worthwhile market, you'd be better served with something else.

Will0 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kahles are owned by Swarovski, so maybe they are pushing the tactical / target market through a different name rather than dilute the sporting swarovski brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsatten Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ive a PR Heritage 5-25x56, gen 2 ret, superb scope, glass easily as good as a SB, better turrets, so much elevation no need for a canted rail, and a superb reticle, And the turrets work the right way!!! Â Ive PM11 ,and a Vortex Razor HD, nothing to chose between any of them to my eyes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I read it on a forum so it must be true :s Premier Heritage as a company no longer exist. They were bought by a Canadian company and are re-named. Will they still be around in 10 years? Who knows but at the price point schmidt and Khales probably will....

JB1 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't any of you guys rate IORs. I sold one years ago and really wish I still had it, very good glass and large range of scopes for LR. I see one going on a 260 later this year hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I had a 3-18x42 IOR the glass was outstanding. However the eye relief was not great and after a few instances of scope eye I got rid. The prices of the newer scopes has shot up in recent years putting them at the edge of premium german scopes which would be my preffered option.

newsatten Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 IOR's are fab scopes, a little agricultural maybe, but some of the best turrets out there! and top class glass, sold mine a long time ago and like you wish i had'nt!!!

newsatten Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Worth checking out, the KRG chassis looks good No biggie re the Premier though , if one breaks it will still be repaired, the pains the same whatever make you own, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbie Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I rate the recent IOR scopes as well now have 2. Though the prices are creeping up but still well below some. Both SFP One has a mark on the magnification ring for mils and others for MOA!! Which would be true of all variable scopes I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
