Nice review Steve.
This was my old scope, we had 2 samples from Shepherd and in the end decided not to proceed because dealer margin wouldn't work. I spent a night shooting with Musclefox and the shepherds compared with his Zeiss pretty well. Beer hunter in Aberdeen tested the scopes and came to a similar conclusion - superb glass.

i advertised them at bargain prices on here but nobody took a punt, silly Billies .

Steve's a good old boy and so we offered him one at mates rates. He trusted me enough to have it. Good result.

Great scopes, if you can get one do so.
