The Timberline is a very similar spec scope and well worth a try. Cost from the States is around $205 plus post. This worked out at around £165. There was a further £40 to pay in taxes so a total of £205 for what is an excellent scope.
The ret is the "Ballistic Plex" which has a couple of useful aimpoints on it.

The scope was purchased from http://www.dnrsports.com/ who were excellent. Mark Komoroski at Dnr was really helpful.

Just one point. The scope was sent via USPS and you can track it all the way.
The last note on the tracking was that an attempted delivery was made at 3.41 am . Tracking then stops as it's handed over to the U.K. Postal Service.
Parcel Force then wrote for their money

After staying in all day I went shooting, only to return and find £200 of scope on my doorstep

If your thinking of a nice versatile and practical scope the Timberline is worth consideration. As is Dnr for the purchase.

I just received my Timberline today and exactly the same thing happened. I coughed up and ParcelFarce delivered.

On first view, it is a lovely compact little scope, optics seem clear as the MTC it is replacing. I can't say yet if they are better. It seems very well made and the controls are firm and positive.

It is now on my HW80 on Sportsmatch low. I did need a piece of 35mm film to shim at the back.

The Ballistic Plex ret seems OK for .22 trajectory. I will test it further on Saturday, but tweaking the eyepiece focus, the PX and the zoom, I can at last see the close KZs at 10 yards and it is clear enough out to 45 yards. Fingers crossed when I do my range cards all will be OK
