    Is there a name for this scope?

    Hi All

    Does anyone know what this scope is called?

    It's like a non-AO Super Moonlighter... I am guessing it's not called this though?

    Super Sunlighter?

    I think the early Moonlighters - or infact all the Moonlighters - did not have the AO feature as far as I remember. Tasco were the only ones who had AO on them at that time.

    IIRC the 'Moonlighter' was the 45mm obj' while yours (pictured). Is the 'Super Moonlighter'. But the old memory is a bit hazy of late...

    Look, no AO! we had to content ourselves with keeping our heads in exactly the same place or stalking to exactly 30 yards of our target.

    While also wearing jackets with massive shoulder pads. Coz' in those days everything just had to be SO big, and if yer scope didn't have a Mauna Kea sized objective necessitating you fitting a jockey wheel instead of the frontsight and trailering your gun upside down by the stock, it was useless.

    I remember buying a not that cheap 8x56 that seemed to have been built by Russians in China, but it ticked the only box that mattered.
