I'm on the verge of buying one for HFT. I've never used my Nikko Sterling 3-9x50 on anything but 9x magnification so it makes sense to go for a fixed 10x I think.

I like the reticule (although I suppose it would take a while to learn how to use it for full effect) and I like that it comes with Mounts and a sidewheel. Realistically those could be £30-£40.

Some complain of Whiteout whilst some point to HFT champions.

There's a definite opportunity for the budget manufacturers to produce a similar 10x44 AO scope. JSR, Nikko Sterling should be able to make something for £50 and it would fly off the shelves I think.

Until then, unless someone can think of a better scope for HFT around £140 then I think I'll get one.
