    If you plan on HFT then the 4 to 16 is no good. Pure hunting the 4 to 16 is better. The x50 front end light gathering is excellent

    Just read the review in this months Airgunner-will soon be buying one for the MK3!

    Out of interest why is the 4-16 no good for HFT? I was hoping to get this for an all purpose scope

    The 4-16 is x50 objective which will not give a good depth of field

    3-14 is x44 which is far better

    What is the depth of field like on the 44mm version? (Thinking HFT scope)

    I had a look through one on saturday at BAR and although I went for the Lightstream, I was impressed by the DOF on the Viper 44 and 50. From a DOF point of view they should be very good for HFT...but I'm sure someone who uses one for HFT wil be along shortly to give a view from practical use.

    Gary.
    I take it then the 8-32x60 that I was interested in for FT and HFT will not be any good for HFT, for the same reasoning? or not.

    Hi Mike

    It's no good at all, the objective is way too big. The depth of field will be 'pants' (using one of Gary's descriptions)

    Hi Sammie

    Can you confirm the weights of the range of scopes again. The ones you gave on the earlier thread are a lot less than BAR are quoting.

    Thanks Barry
