    Just took delivery of one today and was out with it this evening - astonishing bit of glass! A piece of minimalist dog's ********, cannot recommend it enough.

    Thumbs up

    Having owned one I agree with everything written except for the low mag which was the reason I sold mine! For those shooters who go ratting regularly I suppose it has to be the best scope around.

    Have used one on my SKAN Ultra for a few years now, would not hunt with any other scope - perfect picture, no need to dial in and the diamond style reticule gives you a very precise set of aim points.

    I agree with that-the diamond reticle is really good and I am surprised that not more scopes use it. However the standard 1.5-5x20 has a 30:30 ret-I think the diamond mag was intended for use on shotguns or so a dealer told me.

    I use it solely for rat shooting on my lightning xl compared to my previous hawke its so much better optically. Ive gradually been getting accustomed to the set up, worked really well last Thursday 16 confirmed rat kills at my local permission my best yet. Would like to get my hands on a older simmons pro air just got to keep my eye out for one.

    Yes excellent little scope, and looks just right on a Lee Enfield MK 4 if you have a mind to scope one up.

    great little scope m8 the logun lamps are perfect on them for ratting
    add that to a little rifle and you got yourself a great little ratting rig

    I can only add to jamie's recommendation. I've got the BSA light and laser combo attached to the left side of the WTC scope on the XL Tactical. It's a very lightweight, functional set-up, and the wee scope is just a top-notch bit of glass for the money.

    Agreed! Got one of these scopes on my FN12, good build, cracking optics and nice and compact. I just fitted a Deben Stinger lamp to it too which is light enough to leave attached all the time and is completely self contained so no wires everywhere!
    The perfect rat/feral combo. Well, maybe multishot would make it even gooderer...
