Anyone tried the PAO 10x56 GBTR FT/HFT Reticle Rifle Scope?

Has anyone tried the PAO 10x56 GBTR FT/HFT Reticle Rifle Scope?
How is it as far as clearness, depth of field and parallax error?

I don't have one nor have I looked through one but I would take the claim of this scope having been desgined with HFT in mind with a pinch of salt. I have never known anyone use a 56mm objective scope for HFT unless there is version being held at night,. The very shallow depth of field will make life very difficult for near/far targets. Most of the top performing HFT suitable scopes are in the 32~44 mm range.

I don't have this specific scope but I do have the 3-12 x 44 and I consider it a great bit of kit. The clarity of the glass is excellent and the reticle is great for my purposes (rabbiting).

56mm I thought the same far too big I would think,still would have a look tho just to try it,i once went to BAR and it was fantastic the stock they carry let me waste hours playing

Thats what i thought too, the objective lense is too big. I love the reticle though

not a bad ret,tho it suffers with what Chris C described to me as (no mans land) just after the cross hair theres nothing there? then a 1/2 mill hash line,tho some people like this.

would the circle be classed as a hash mark?

i don't do HFT so its not a RET i would buy .

don't do it they are very poor I bought one and its in my cupboard waiting for me to decide which bin to put it in

[hotversion]

Like the bracketing scale tho,if the optics are poor its a non starter.

We should all club together n open a micro real ale cafe bar,dedicated to hft specific scopes,starting from the early days till now,we can have a good beer n all try different scopes n log down the pros n cons ov each Oneida don't know what was b4 eb sniper or bushy elite fix 10?

I think it is intended to be a hash mark too.
I can also imagine the circle being useful for
Windage and for quick and rough range estimation when superimposed on kill zones.
