? on Seeadler optics
Has anyone heard of or used this brand of
optics. They are supposed to be made in
Germany. Thanks for any help on this. GEG
Hi.
I have a "Jagermeister" 3-9x45, w/30mm tube.
This is Seeadler. I'm pretty satisfied with mine. I had one for 5 years first, but after a swim in icewater it fogged inside. I walked trough the ice, on a beaverhunt -trip.
But I got a new one, and that one's alright. I use it on a quite heavy 308 Win, though. It has 30 years warranty, here in Norway.

Andre MertensGEG, Seeadler is living proof that even the Germans can produce junk when trying hard enough. Quality is on a par with Tasco... Save your hard earned money for a quality product.

browningguyI've only had mine about a year but it is excellent. I've got the 6x42 on a Ruger 77 RSI in .308. I taught a newbie how to shoot it last year on a hunt and he even managed an Axis and a Blackbuck useing the gun. I haven't beat mine up so can't really comment on the strength of them. The optics are at least on a par with my 3-9x40 Nikon on my 30-06 BAR and the 4-12x40 Leupold on my .270 BAR. I did have one hunt last winter when it was foggy, raining and temps below freezing at some points and never had it fog.
