I had the R&G order a Schmidty with a #9 reticle. It came in today with an A8 Reticle which wasnt what i was hoping for and the manager is going to call the supplier and see whats up on monday when their Schmidty rep is supposed to be in. 

The scope was still super slick and very nice. I put it up next to a vx3 with the very limited space i had in the underground bunker store that is our rod and gun club and with the 15 yards i had to play with in artificial lighting it was hard to see that the Schmidty was crisper in the center of the tube but it was obvious toward the outter edges. I'm guessing that the difference will show better if i had them out in the feild.  The eye relief was awesome and the mag ring turned flawlessly. It had a thicker rubber eyecup ring than the lupy.  Hopefully it is sorted out this next week. If i cant get the thicker A9 reticle in the schmidty then i could probably go for the Sworo and save 200 bucks, but that schmidty was really slick. might have to get it anyways.

The price was good. $500 cheaper than i can get it in the states.  :IBCOOL:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I like the choice you made. :twocents:  Nothing against Swaro, but those S&B's are great.

I just put the schmidty with the A9 reticle on layaway and a guy i met on one of my big drive hunts accross the country just happened to be in the shop. he purchased the other Schmidty with the A8 reticle for a gift for his dad in NY. what a son.

It's waiting for me at home.

$966 when it was all said and done.   :IBCOOL:  i really don't think i would have bought it if i had to pay the regular US market prices.
