Ryan, these low B-Square's are hard to find. Have you got a good source for them in the US?

I did that, mate, but I wasn't too impressed by the seller's feedback. Saw your bid there. What was the post cost, by the way, please?

Well, it's via a bid (no buy it now), and postage is on their site somewhere, not a lot as I recall..

BTW they do I" low B-squares as well..

I like the sound of this Leup, I must say, but I'd have to sell the Zeiss () to fund it! Tough call, as I doubt the Leup's glass is any better: it's the TMR ret that I want.

I couldn't find the post cost to the UK but I asked the seller so I hope to find out. They're not expensive so I may just take a punt on them if the post cost isn't too bad! I know what you mean about the TMR ret, very nice, and easy to understand thanks to Ryan's efforts to put the diagram up.
Good luck with your B-Squares, anyway!

Just bolted mine onto my FT110

Would agree with Ryan 100%

I went for the mildot scope as I prefer the less fusy ret, although saying this I looked through Ryans TMR and "in the flesh" it isnt anywhere as fusy as you might think!

The cystal clear optics and the superb depth of field are amazing, I would say that 10 metres each side of parallex the image is still spot on and crystal clear

One thing that is noticable over cheaper good optics is that the iamge is clear and in focus right out to the edge of vision, the glass is top quality all over, not just the centre 75%

The build quality is better than anything I have ever seen, the military spec coming in I guess!

The turrets lock with a singe grub socket allen screw unlike most scpes that have 3 screw turrets, its a nice simple feature that works

I truely now have "all the gear and no idea"

I had a chance to look through Ryan's 10x40 at the Shepreth Diabolical at the end of the comp. On the zeroing range there were cards at the usual 8-45 yard intervals. Ryan's TMR reticule was set up for his eye and wasn't razor sharp but it still looked impressive. Quite fine but relatively uncluttered.

The scope appeared to be parallaxed at around 25 yards, this card was in sharp focus, the card at 8 had some roughly 20mm circles on it and these were still quite easy to make out, the 10 and up - very good sight picture - the card at 45 was still completely legible, sharp but not absolutely in focus. The tall dry grass at the edge of the field in the background hundreds of yards away was still quite distinct.

All round the resolution seemed truly excellent, sharp from edege to edge, contrast again excellent and brightness on a gloomy day (this is a 40mm objective) was well above average, but for HFT'ers, the outstanding depth of field was a huge plus point.
Coupled with the resolution, clarity and brightness. the huge DOF means that if you want the very best optic, particularly if your eyesight isn't too hot, then I'm afraid you need to splash the cash on this beauty!
it ain't cheap
look on it as an investment

[derek austin]

The trouble with such 'investments' is that you feel such a t*t when you still miss, despite all that lovely gear
