I've been in those stores before and I don't think they carry S&B scopes. The 5-25x56mm PMII I'm looking for is $3199. Hence, why I haven't found anyone who carries them locally yet.zephyp wrote:Try Dicks in Fair Lakes, Gander Mountain and Dick's in Fredericksburg.

Ouch!!! Thats a pretty expensive piece of hardware. I'd be surprised if you could find that anywhere to actually handle it.gunderwood wrote:I've been in those stores before and I don't think they carry S&B scopes.

Good idea, but most of the dealers don't stock the high end PMII scopes. Also, the drive is several hours each way, at which point it is just cheaper to order from a place with no restocking fee and eat shipping. Thanks though.allingeneral wrote:You could contact the S&B dealers in the area. These are from the S&B dealer page at http://www.schmidtbender.com/dealersUS.shtml
Yes, the PMII are as good as it gets for long range tactical scopes. Perfect? Nope, just really close. My .338LM is begging for one. The closest place that I know has them is www.eurooptic.com, but that is a day long trip. Besides their return policy is excellent (just pay shipping, so it will cost me more to drive), their knowledge and service is excellent, and if you are willing to mail a certified bank check, usually you can get a discount.zephyp wrote:Ouch!!!

I would think if you've got $3k to put down on a scope you probably dont need to worry about the drive or shipping cost. Kinda like worrying about how much gas your 2010 mercedes uses...gunderwood wrote:Yes, the PMII are as good as it gets for long range tactical scopes. Perfect? Nope, just really close.

Yes, the cost of driving vs. shipping is irrelevant when compared to my time or the cost of the scope. However, the problem with these particular scopes is that they are hard to find. All of the dealers I have contacted who actually stock them say they should have a shipment any day, but have been waiting for several weeks now. I could wait weeks or months to get one only to find out that it isn't what I wanted.
