Why do people shout about Leups? Ive looked down quite a few and im not overly fussed. Temperature fluctuations means lack of faith, surely.
Buy a titanium tubed bushnell and spend the rest on lap dancers.

my custom shop shifts with temp, lucklily though its very predicable, so 3 temp strips across the end has seen my scores improve since fitting them. The problem was the scope would cool down from the car to the early morning zero session, and then rise as the day's temp rose...at ottmoor it saw a shift from 20 deg to 3 deg back up to 9 deg, which equated to 0 click offset, to 10 clicks, back to 7 clicks...but i could see that with the strips, so it wasnt a problem, where as it plagued me at the sywell GP and a number of other days where there was a shift during the shoot.

I can't believe I am going against spending money on lapdancers but I really love the sight picture leupolds give. I think it is a personal thing Andy - Just like I hate Mk3s and others swear by them.
rfarn - what are these temp strips you speak of?

in the end i got all 3, cos i've shot at -4 (bisley nearly new 2005) and 35 degrees (newbury GP 2006)...
at £6, worth a play...
A change please!
What larf that was!!! First target I hit bang in the middle and it just sat there looking at me. Got a O. The bloke I was shooting round with hit it almost in the same spot. And the target didn't budge a mm. Called a marshall to have a look and the mechanism had frozen solidhttp://www.thermometersdirect.co.uk/...__LCD__17.html

And for those on a budget don't be too quick to discount the Weaver T36. I took a gamble on one (ordered without even looking through one) and have been impressed. Range finding is very consistent but hard work - you have to concentrate. The turrets are ace - very positive and loooaaads of clicks per turn. Good scope. Great scope for the money.

In skilled hands the 20-50 is indeed a wonderfull scope but for normal mortals like me they are just too variable. I had one for a year before the frustration of the change in range finding made me give up on it.
They are not all as sensitive to temperature as each other and I have heard that some are not sensitive at all but I can only report on the ones that I have used and all of those were.

20-50's can be made better by adjusting the end lens...trying to make it max out at around 57-60 can deliver better snap...some snap better than others, with some its a case of picking out the detail, but the common thing with them i've heard is that they all need work learning.

I have the big nikko and it is very sensitive to the temperature.I was there thinking of buying the new FT SB. you believe than with the finished one that it brings and the construction of the viewfinder in if it was helping to that every day and in every situation the viewfinder changes the point of impact?
thanks
