    Thumbs up Update

    I had a chance to look through Ryan's 10x40 at the Shepreth Diabolical at the end of the comp. On the zeroing range there were cards at the usual 8-45 yard intervals. Ryan's TMR reticule was set up for his eye and wasn't razor sharp but it still looked impressive. Quite fine but relatively uncluttered.

    The scope appeared to be parallaxed at around 25 yards, this card was in sharp focus, the card at 8 had some roughly 20mm circles on it and these were still quite easy to make out, the 10 and up - very good sight picture - the card at 45 was still completely legible, sharp but not absolutely in focus. The tall dry grass at the edge of the field in the background hundreds of yards away was still quite distinct.

    All round the resolution seemed truly excellent, sharp from edege to edge, contrast again excellent and brightness on a gloomy day (this is a 40mm objective) was well above average, but for HFT'ers, the outstanding depth of field was a huge plus point.
    Coupled with the resolution, clarity and brightness. the huge DOF means that if you want the very best optic, particularly if your eyesight isn't too hot, then I'm afraid you need to splash the cash on this beauty!
    it ain't cheap
    look on it as an investment

    The trouble with such 'investments' is that you feel such a t*t when you still miss, despite all that lovely gear

    If the finances allow David you won't regret it. They're out of this world and for a dedicated HFT rig really take some beating.

    Just remember the lifetime gaurentee.

    Can these be reparallaxed, if necessary?

    Side wheel focus scopes can be awkward beasts - been there and back again trying to reparallax my Zeiss, to no avail - factory job.

    Is this really clear -ie "10mm reducer-clear" - at 8 yards?

    I'm so fed up with missing 8 yd reducers just because I can't make out a b**y kill zone

    Apparently they are parallaxed for airgun use by Leulpold before leaqving for the UK. That's why I'm happy to get one.

    Yes a 10mm at 8 yards is clear enough to make out the well shot up kill and still miss! If you're at Ford on Sunday seek me out and you can have a look through.

    You're welcome to have a peek through mine too!! (I'll have my Steyr, pic in sig, shouldnt be many like this there)

    I should add that now I have used the scope a little more it still gets better!!

    While shooting this morning at some knockovers in my garden, you can actually see the pellet enter the kill zone pretty much everytime. With my Super Sniper you wouldnt see the pellet so often

    PM Sparky about the price he can get them for, Uttings have them at about a grand

    Good innit! I've been up at the club for a few hours since first light and I love watching the pellet bounce off of the target everytime!

    There you go Derek you can compare the TMR and mil dot ret.
