Schmidt & Bender EXOS

Any experience with these? Difficult to get my hands on one, but looking for a 'one and done' type purchase and these seem solid. Some great reviews online.....just looking for real world feedback

Thanks- Bozeman

I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one, but I run a SB 5-20 US on my hunting rifle and a SB 5-25 on my range rifle (both pmii). SB is the gold standard amd are hard to beat. I have owned and/used most high end scopes and prefer SB to even TT (only scope I haven’t tried is ZCO and Minox).

i try stuff and always fall back to SB. To my eyes they just seem perfect. Robust and very reliable...just wish they would make a sub 23 oz version.

I have a 3-21 exos it checked all boxes for me, capped windage, locking elevation, good magnification range, perfect reticule (moa lrh 2ndfp), glass gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside whenever I look through it. But with all scopes in this category it comes with a weight penalty. S&B makes good stuff...

No EXOS but have a 4-16x56 polar with exposed elevation with locking and capped windage. And yes it is heavy, but when mounted on my Tikka, it feels really nice.

Had the exos and 3-20 US side by side. My exos turrets didn’t feel the best and Jerry Said there must be a bad oring. The us turrets feel great and imagine that’s what the exos should’ve felt like. Couldn’t optically tell a difference and weight was pretty much the same. I went with the US for more elevation adjustment. The LRH moa reticle is awesome
