how do they compare in poor light,i find the german stuff better but still believe a vx111 lrt will do everything you need for daytime varmiting.

Luepolds are decent bits of kit but every one I have looked through n the dark has been inferior to German glass. Decent or even half decent light though and they are fine.

Our snipers use these scopes and to "coin a phrase" If its good enough for them its good enough for us civies.
This scope will still be working when your barrel has worn out.
I used one on a L96 and its ...... " Very Good At Its Job ! "
Trust you scope and your compass, leave the rest for God to sort out.

I have guns because i enjoy shooting, what i dont enjoy is being screwed by red tape and a dishonest government.
I`ve got a Schmidt and Bender 3-12x50 Klassik IR scope on my Tikka T3 LITE 22-250this scope is unbelievable in low light.WHAT A SCOPE!

S&B Precision Hunter with night vision was pants. Day light, it was great but with NV, really bad.
As for the Leupold, that is amazing with NV which is why I am thinking of buying a VX-7. This one has the new low light thingy wotsit.
Anyone used them both by chance!?

Can't always go by that these days.
With the Government we have, the Military have to make the best of what they're given and it isn't always the best
Although in this case S&B are the dogs danglies
I have the standard 4-16x50 variant with the varmint hunter (8 dot) reticle. Best scope I've ever had. I also have a Leupold Mk4 M1 10x40 pretty much on a par when setting the Schmidt to 10x.

Anschutz 1427 .22LR Nikon Buckmaster SF 4.5-14x40, A-TEC Mod, Tikka M595 222Rem, Leupold 6.5-20x40LR, Howa 1500 APC 308Win, Nikko Diamond 6-24x50 FFP, wildcat Evolution, Sauer 202 243Win, Leupold 4.5-14x50LR, wildcat Evolution.
I also have the 4-16x50 Varmint scope with the No.8 Dot reticle. By far and away the best scope i have ever owned, bright and crisp image with vivid colour.
Didn't pay anything like £1500 for it, the list price is only (only ) £1151 quid, but i cant see it being any less of a scope than the precision hunter.
I actually prefer the dot spacing on this over MilDot scopes, much more useful and even yardage gaps for holdover, i use laser exclusively for rangefinding so don't need dots for that purpose. (For those that are interested they are at .32, .74, 1.38, 2.22, 3.23 and 5 milliradians respectively, i have the S+B spec document if anyone needs it).
One of those items that you wouldn't believe was worth the money. Until you get your mitts on one...
In the words of Gold Member, " Its a keeper..."

I think you are spot on Jim
We pay all this money for good glass and then do what we think rather than what the expensive glass tells us. When will we learn.
Trust your scope
