Thanks for the comment.
I got them from an family member is Canada.
The review damns them a bit, but mainly because it did not work out well on the Weatherby for lamping. I have them on my rimfires and soon on the Airguns.

Brilliant review blue thanks, been waiting for them to come out . I'm ermin and aarin about one of these (or wait for an 8-32x40) for my 17HMR when I get it.
Noting your buddy could rangefind between 90 and 100 yards good, how do think it would rate in the 100~150 yards area in twilight or mostly lamping please? and did you have any customs to pay when it got here?

Some bloke.
I'll have a go with it on Sunday for the rangefinding over 100 yards.
As I stated, for lamping with full bore over 100 yards, I found the field of view a tad narrow for actually finding the beastie. Once found, all was very clear, but for searching for a 200 yard fox you've seen in the lamp seemed difficult.
For HMR ranges, say out to 130 yards lamping, it is fine.
I have been lucky with duty thus far. If you get duty charged, expect to pay about £380-£400 ish. I'm lucky as my friend is a dealer for Nikon and Bushnell.
To be fair I really need to do some head to head comparisons with other scopes lamping. My favourite is a Scopechief 4-15 x 50, this is an incredible scope, but like rocking horse poo to find.
Apart from the lamping bit, the 6-24 x 40 scope is hard to beat especially at the price (even if HMC do their bit). For general use they are brilliant.

Not sure I follow that Blue. Do you mean the furtherest it will rangefind within 25 yards, is 100 yards?

Don't know if it'll be of any help but having compared the two out of curiosity, can say that at 75 yards in twilight* it loses image definition a bit earlier than a Zero Option 3-9x40 when both at 9x.100~150 yards area in twilight
(* light level where small white targets - screwtops off 1 litre plastic milk containers - are almost invisible to unscoped eye)
As an afterthought should add though, that the Bushnell is a very good scope and I wouldn't want to part with mine; comparing it with the ZO in low light is perhaps unfair anyway, since the ZO's got a limited magnification range while being only slightly shorter in length.
