Can we get back to discussing the Lightstream please chaps. Top scope and deserves not to be sidetracked
I have a Lightstream here for testing,i won't be mounting it on the gun until after the HFT season finishes, but so far very impressed with the optics, DOF and RET.

ok i have my replacement now, alan sent a van over to pick it up as soon as he heard, got it back and i have also got a free sunshade comming for my inconvience, good service. now for the scope, the dots dont acctually drop in for me but to be honest i didnt expect them too, preliminary tests show 1st mildot top of kill for 45 as the dot for me comes in at about 42 yards with my 30 yard zero although this gun doesnt tend to come in at true mildots anyway, the clarity is very nice and build quality is good, box looks a bit cheap but who really cares about a box, the turrets dont click how i would expect them too but they are very posotive, mine seems to white out quite easiy when used on the higher mags but is far less prone on under 10x. you can see the side of the scope until the mag reaches about 6 but that isnt a huge effort, main thing is alan's customer service is top
its on sportsmatch or bisley (same thing iirc) mediums, if i go high mounts that will be a pain for close ones and if i go for bkl's they are crap, what do you think paul, at the moment the 1st mildot comes in at about 43 yards, and at 45 it is about 3mm lower than the mildot
I use high BKLs and a 33 yard zero.
If you have Chairgun, put in velocity of 775fps, pellet weight 8.44, BC of 0.024, scope height of 1.85 inches and zero at 33 yards - that gives 1st mil-dot just past 46 yards. Gives quite a safety margin in that if I put the mil-dot in the centre of the kz, it should hit from 37 yards +. Bit risky but it takes the edge of having to range guess accurately. A 35 yard zero would be better but the garden isn't long enough
If you haven't got Chairgun then e-mail/pm me your set up details and I'll get back to you
