Hi Sam
I have tried all sorts of scopes and currently own a top end Zeiss, Leupold and Schmidt & Bender (Hungarian) scope for my rifles.
I have found that with my Steyr 243 Tactical Scout, the S&B 8x56 is the best combination as i always seem to be "fiddling" with the others, if it's not the zoom, it's the parallax etc. And sod's law, just when you need to acquire a quick shot, it's usually on the wrong setting.
The S&B 8x56 is very very bright in low light, crystal clear and has no knobs other than the two turrets to twiddle so once the rifle is zeroed, you just shoot
