    I have one of these, I am a fussy old sod and I have found this to be remarkable value for money, I rate the turret system as one of the best I have used, the sidewheel is better than my Nikon, optics are very bright and clear, better than Nikko and on par with Bushnell Legend to my eyes, although eye position is critical at highest mag (as it is on most scopes) but as I only use max mag to look at bullet holes that doesnt worry me

    The big problem for me is what gun to put it on, I think .177 air rifle for now as I want to try out that rather nice ret, I will probably eventually put it on a .308 where the holdover ballistic lines would also be rather handy at longer ranges, although as that rifle is stainless I will probably go for the nice blingy silver 3-12 version

    Also a very nice looking scope in a Tactical sort of chunky way

    Well done MTC

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how the locking turrets work? Do you push them down or do you slide down a ring or something? And do they have indication marks as found on most sniper turrets that tell you how many turns the turret has made.
    Thanx

    Is there much difference in brightness between the 44 and 50 objectives and would a 50 fit ok on a HW97 with regards to the loading port?

    The turret markers have a lockring which is much better than usual three grubscrews and the turrets have to be pulled away from the scope to turn then clicked back to lock, an excellent system that has been patented I am told and for good reason

    Is there likely to be an issue with bits of grit & crap getting into the turret workings of these scopes since they don't seem to have caps ?

    The 4-16x50 at 570g
    The 6-24x56 at 620g
