Blaser B2 Optic vs Swarovski

[ErickW]

Greetings from Oklahoma!
I am looking at swapping out my Zeiss for an illuminated optic. Just by browsing, it looks like Swarovski seems to be among the most favored manufacturers. I am headed to Bavaria later in the month an considering getting something there. What's the general thoughts on the new Blaser B2 optics?

[Gamsjagd]

b2 is pretty average compared to Swarovski. They are cheap as chips, and the quality reflects that.

[ErickW]

That is very surprising. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[Gamsjagd]

B1 is closer to a Swarovski V6 ++.

B2 is going to be like a 30mm Ziess V6.

[Gamsjagd]

Very little free lunch in the optics world.

Swarovski z6 2.5-15x56 $2400 Euro Optics and 2800 Euros at Frankonia (no discounts available).

Blaser B2 2.5-15x56 $2200 Euro Optics and 1800 Euros at Frankonia (all B2s are heavily discounted, because they don't sell).

Zeiss V6 2.5-15x56 2000 Euros (heavily discounted) can't find a price for one in America.

Blaser builds rifles - the optics are just bought. Swarovski builds ONLY optics - so choose wisely... I don't think this is hard to see: just take a look and compare them - my decision is clear for the Swarovski without a second of doubt...

No idea on B2 but my B1 is my single favorite scope. It is expensive as hell.

I am on the fence on the B2 as I would rather get another B1(58mm). Have a bunch of Swarovski scopes - z6 z5 z3 - they are excellent scopes.

Been buying S&B scopes recently. Can definitely see a lot of S&B in the blaser scopes given bender’s association. I do think blaser (or owning parent) builds their own scopes.

Hans Bender was - but I m not sure is ceo of holding company that makes blaser and minox scopes. Holding company is owned by the owners of blaser. Why you see a lot of S&B features in blaser scopes.

I assume all glass for blaser and Swarovski is bought from schott which is owned by Zeiss.

I planned on getting a minox all rounder but eurooptic has a S&B 50% off so I decide to buy a couple of those.
