Opinion about Blaser Scopes

[ajamils]

What's the general opinion about Blaser scopes? Are they rebranded Zeiss? I was thinking about picking Blaser Infinity 2-12x50 along with my first R8 to have the IC. Are Blaser scopes worth the cost ($2k in this case) or should I get something like Leupold VX-6HD?

They are made by Blaser with equipment purchased from S&B.

I used to read that on my tablet used to be a couple of issues a year then they stopped, some interesting articles, all things Zeiss, Sauer, Mauser, RWS and Blaser.

Great hunting scope but not a long range scope. Last light capability is fantastic. Illumination and Parallax are on the wrong side. No scope covers to protect the fancy glass.

No scope covers? Really? That's sounds like typical German thing.... where you have to pay extra for things that included for free by other manufacturers (I'm looking at your BMW/Merc )

I have a couple Gen 1. Good scopes for sure but I prefer Z8i.
