The connect is a very good scope but it don't suit everyone, I have one on my Daystate and I do very well with it, The field of view is amazing compared to a standard scope and the clarity is also very very good. As for your 5 questions.
I do most of my shooting in the dark. ( Illuminated ret )
I always shoot at 10x mag but like to be able to zoom to check what I'm looking at. ( Can only zoom to 12 mag )
I am mounting it on a HW100tk ( Wont be an issue )
I want the scb ret (The one im selling in the for sale section has the SCB ret )
I want performance equally as good as the 56mm I had before. ( I would say it would be better due to the wide field of view )
Hope this helps oh and did I mention im selling one in the scope section
Atb Harry.
