    A good honest review:

    And I totally agree - I have a 6-24X50 4200 Tactical Elite and a 5-15 Legend.

    To be honest there is very little in it - and the 4200 cost 3 times the price.

    You've got my scope combination too and there is little in it too. Both great scopes (sold my first legend and regretted it).

    I think there is a trend starting.
    It was thanks to the feedback from you guys and a couple of others that made me go for it!

    Thanks

    What does the parallax focus down too on the legend 5-15x40. I've seen 10 yds and 15 yds quoted on different website's. Thanks. atb. Brian.

    Arrow less than 10 yards

    Hang on I'll just have a look...

    The adjustment ring is marked 10yrds, but I think at 5x mag it is less than this. My garage is about 7yrds long and from one end to the other is just about in focus with the ring on minimum and 5x mag.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    Excellent scopes. I use one on all my legal limit air rifles and am delighted with the build quality and optics. The Elite range may be better but are they worth over twice the price? Perhaps not.

    No probs. Another feature on this scope (which I've only just noticed ) is that the parallax adjustment ring can be adjusted itself. There are three small screws locking it to the objective bell, these can be loosened and for example the 30yrd mark be reset to where your eye finds 30yrds focus. Clearly the deltas between ranges on the ring can't be altered but an interesting feature nevertheless.
    Regards,
    Dave.
