    have one of these myself and love it, i think the zeiss victory might have an edge over it but it still up there with the best and built like a tank absolutely amazing at night or in low light

    Yes they are.

    I had a few ex military S&B 6x40 (I think) sniper scopes, these were the german ones IIRC.

    The optical clarity was truly breathtaking.
    I play a Fender bass, I shoot a springer. I like things to be, well, dependable

    There were indeed HP. I still have one I got from you. Ex German army, with one piece mount. Number 2 sniper reticule. Green in colour. Well it used to be. I refinished it in black. Still use the original mount because 25mm won't fit!!! I think the scopes are 26mm tubes. Everyone who has had a go with it sing it's praises. It will reside with me forever.

    It's been so long my marbles are going lol.

    I actually found some mounts that fit it - but couldn't re parallax the one I'd put aside for myself :-(

    Ah well, such is life.

    Glad yours is still going strong amigo.

    All I did to reparallax was loosen off the front element, put a suitable o ring in place and tighten up. Bang on 30 yds!

    They were a 6x42 which were fitted to the L96- Quality was excellent and could easily hit Huns head targets at 600 metres yards with this combination.
