    i'm thinking of buying one of these for my rifle, it'll be used for lamping and long range magpie/grey crow/rabbit shooting, just havent made my mind up on the 72mm or 56mm obj, i've shopped around and can get an ex demo 72mm model for d same price as a new 56mm but i don't know which to go for, the 72mm is surely better but will be mor expensive to mount due to d 34mm tube and i'll need a comb raiser due to the extra height of the scope, is there much difference between d optical quality of them, any advice will be greatly appreciated,

    Hi ormondprop,

    I have recently bought the 56mm one and it is the DOG's testicles, it makes the NightForce I have look like a cheap scope (well not quite, but the Zeiss is much better) the 56 and 72 will be the same in day light the only thing the 72 will do better would be dawn/dusk.

    However, my 56mm is very good at dawn dusk and much better than the N/F. At night with a lightforce SL170 lamp with Amber filter I can pick out a single leaf on a tree at over 300 yards.

    My advice would be go for the 56mm the mounts are cheaper and you can mount it lower to the barrel, but the choice is yours.

    All I can say is if you buy one you won't regret it.

    Agree with everything ballie said.

    I currently have two 6-24x56 victory's - They are superb.

    Having looked through The 72 mm scope, I can say it is noticably heavier and more clumbersome than the 56,

    Whilst the 72 is no doubt a brilliant scope , the extra cost of mounting and the increase scope height above the bore put me off.

    My advise - get the 56 mm model.

    thanks guys, i reckon the 56mm should do everything i need and more, so i say thats what i'll go for, the 72mm was tempting me even though i knew it was going to be a lot of hassle to mount and look through on the rifle due to the extra height, so the 56mm will be mine soon enough, what reticles do ye guys have, i'm thinking of the 40 ir, or 60 ir i heard the nf scopes are a big let down alrite when there is little light,

    I would say if you're willing to spend that much money on a scope, an extra x quid for mounts shouldn't be of any concern to you.

    Me included

    Ballie I'm glad your happy with the scope (how could you not have been ) I was worried about convincing someone to spend so much money on a scope without seeing one, even though I did

    If someone doesn't want any extra aim points on a scope then I think the 60 ret is perfect, I've used mine at dawn, dusk, under the lamp and with a nv add-on, all perfect

    Oh and during the day

    I have 43 ret on mine - ( the fine mildot ) well worth a look at - all of them are good , I especially like 60 ret - I would have a look through them and pick which one suit you and your shooting.

    ormondprop,

    Ret choice is very personal if you like to use hold over points then the mil dot (43) will suit you well however, if you use the dial in method or use a very flat shooting rifle then a simple (60) dot is sufficient.

    The choice is yours

    i have a mildot scope already and never use the mildots so i think i'd prefer to go for a normal cross such as the 40 or 60, i'll have to look through them to decide, is the 40 very thick?

    Try The Sportsman gun centre I think they still have some stock at old price (£1,299) if not you will do well to get one under £1,500
