scope difference?

[boomer92266]

I have a question on a scope I was gonna get since it was such a good deal and keep it put back till my next gun purchase. On the natchez shooters supply site there are two models of Bushnell Banner 3-9x40, one says 3-9x40 multi x black matte clam and the other says 3-9x40 multi x black matte clam sb. what would the sb mean? I think clam means clam pack but have no idea about sb. There are a 30 dollar difference in price and it's the same brand and model except one has sb after clam. thanks

It’s the same part number. So it’s something internal for Nachez. Like a Demo or something perhaps. It’s on many of the Bushnell scopes there. But there is nothing on Bushnell’s website. Maybe it stands for “Shipped Back”, like a return, LOL!

Other items were also labeled “SB”...Binoculars, spotting scopes, red dots, etc.

I finally got a hold of Natchez, glad I went a head and placed the order yesterday so it will ship today. Different boxes or packaging is all there is. I was told they buy in huge vollume sometimes when larger retailers fail to purchase an order from a vendor and they pass the savings on to the customer but everything is brand new and the same item just different packaging. In this case the cheaper scope is in a clam pack with a box type over package. My order invoice form says Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 multi x soft box clam. Thanks

Yeah, they are Demo scopes. The ones out for display by retailers. That’s all.

No they weren't demo's. Well the order arrived and the scope is in a factory sealed box and looks to be the same scope I paid $100 for at my local store. It was not a plastic clam, B must have ment box don't know what S stood for. But they also sent me at no charge 2 sets of Weaver scope cleaning cloths, 4 total, so I now wished I had bought another scope but I only have one centerfire rifle so I guess 1 extra scope will be ok. thanks
