How much more pleasant was that!?
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Just bought the S+B 12-50-56 PM 11. ( Sport Reticle )
Will be trying it out this weekend, out to 1000m.
It looks impressive sitting in the box.
Will have a better idea on Monday.

Im not saying i know everything, but i know enough. Its better to keep quiet and let people think your a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it ! ! !
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean to say they aren't trying to get me.

The sport dot works well enough on 40x plus magnification, but at 30x it will cover a F class V bull at 1000 yards, I have just sent mine back to have the sport Fine ret installed ( not cheap )
All in all it's a very good scope and only £100 more expensive than the NF 12x42, having said that if the NF had better optics it would be my first choice.

Just come back from a very good days shooting.
12-50-56 PM 11 ..... Is the dogs Boll **ks.
The parallax is the best I have seen.
The click adjustment is fine. They are close together but "who cares" If you’re not sure how many turns you have dialled .... Just look at the knob.
The marking's are clear, precise and easy to read, even in poor light, rain, mist and fog. As i had, all bloody day !
Go for the fine reticle though.
I could not find fault with it.

Have a look through both at about 5.10pm at a dark background 100 yards and see of you could take a shot with any illuminated rets switched off. Luepold are good daylight scopes but if the one I had was anything to go by not that good in low light. Never had a S&B though but it should allow you to take a shot about 5 minutes longer than the Luepold.

I had a leupold vx111 with the fine cross reticule, in good light it was very good but under the lamp it was no good at all. I now have a s/b 3x12-50 with the a7 reticule and i cant belive how good it is. I have 3 s/bs 2 khales and 1 swaro also a zeiss so i know a good scope when i see one, but its what you like at the end of the day. Ath best Woodyd.

Since my last post on this particular thread I have purchased a S&B 8x56 Hungarian.This scope is nothing short of fantastic.It's going on my forthcoming .17HMR.
A brilliant scope that is very popular with Deerstalkers too!

Hi bulletboy
like you have just got a 8x56 , but its on my .223 and the quality of glass is excellent.I have had a scope switch around and on my .22 is a lovely little s&b 6x42-perfect, now what s&b for my HMR?? the trouble with good glass is that it becomes expensive having the same brand on them all
I have had Leupold, Zeiss. Bushnell,Burris and wasnt mad on the eye relief on the Leupold but the others were all excellent, but i always fancied S&B and so far not been disappointed
cheers
