    Not a clue. Take a look at what they've actually competed for. There's a difference between not competing and competing and failing.

    I know what you're saying and it makes sense but it's not true in this case.

    Would it be wrong to say S&B is like the Colt of rifles in that every other scope is based or "graded" on the quality of S&B?

These are guys that have a lot of high end stuff come through. I will try and get details. I know Grant had an illumination adjustment come OFF a 1-4 USO some time ago as well.

    My preference for SB over PR is because the P4F reticle and ergonomics of the SB controls are my preference. I did have a PR get mushy clicks, I'm told that issue has been resolved.

    No. It's the known standard, being an issue item in many services worldwide.
