the best in optics?
I see this often. About in the mid 1980's if bought a schmidt and bender scope. Not a rifle scope, not really a spotter, but a draw tube telescope. Its title is mayflower. It's a 20x scope that when drawn out is about 3' long, and collapsed is about 10". Now i've got spotters from swaro, leitz the old B&L's etc, but nothing comes close to this old telescope. This thing is so shap and clear that it just seems like my eyeball is magnified. I've never seen another, anybody else got one??

Swarovski still makes a spoting scope exactly like the S&B you described
