Triumph045 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking seriously at buying a new scope. I had set my sights on an S&B pm2 5x25-56 moa-moa FFP. (No pun intended) Then saw the S&B pm2, 3x27-56 high power, and really liked the sound of it. Contacted all of the usual UK dealers and they all said the same thing ''not available in this country'' So I contacted S&B direct, they say it is available here!!!!!!! Can anyone help? Has anyone seen one of the 3x27's, or can you advise where I could see one? Anyone know about any UK dealers who have one? what is the lead time ? and how much £? Many thanks Triumph045.

Shuggy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's worth reading the tests on Precision Rifle Blog first. He found that the 3-27 had some problems with tracking and had a narrow field of view. Can't beat the old 5-25 IMHO - and in his! http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/09/19/tactical-scopes-field-test-results-summary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian 1 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think a moa/moa in FFP would only be advantageous with a reticle with MOA markings, I don't think S&B do a moa reticle I think March scopes do moa/moa turrets in FFP with a MOA reticle.

Triumph045 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Fair comment SW Shooter. I'd like to think that the guy tested a rouge 3-27, and that his findings are a one off and not a fair reflection of the model. Even if this model of PM2 (3-27) generally has the issues noted in the test, I can't believe that S&B wouldn't address them as a matter of urgency, after all it's billed as one of their premium scopes. Notwithstanding the above however, I may well decide to play safe and stick with a 5-25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
