[JLB]

Does anyone know what mag these scopes are 'true mildot' at please. Teetering on the edge of purchase Still undecided as to go for the 3-12 or 4-16

Thanks, john

True at 10x mag..

The ret has half mildot marks on it, so you also have the option of turning the mag down to 5x and then use the half mildot marks as full mildots. Don't know if I've explained that very well ?

Very handy for close range ratting work. i.e. for bunny bashing use the scope on 10x mag and figure out all your holdovers to the nearest 1/2 mildot. Then for the close range stuff where you need a bigger field of view turn the mag down to 5x and use the half marks as full mildots.

I've recently fitted the 4-16x50 on my hunting rifle and I've got to say that so far I'm very impressed. As a hunting scope it's excellent, and has everything I need. The removable sidewheel is dead handy too and when I get a moment I'm going to try to set it up to see how well it'll range find out to 45/50 yards.

If you plan on HFT then the 4 to 16 is no good. Pure hunting the 4 to 16 is better. The x50 front end light gathering is excellent

Just read the review in this months Airgunner-will soon be buying one for the MK3!

Out of interest why is the 4-16 no good for HFT? I was hoping to get this for an all purpose scope

The 4-16 is x50 objective which will not give a good depth of field

3-14 is x44 which is far better

Thanks gents, you twisted my arm will be placing an order some time this week. The reticle seems ideal for my CZ

Cheers john

What is the depth of field like on the 44mm version? (Thinking HFT scope)

I take it then the 8-32x60 that I was interested in for FT and HFT will not be any good for HFT, for the same reasoning? or not.

Hi Mike

It's no good at all, the objective is way too big. The depth of field will be 'pants' (using one of Gary's descriptions)

Hi Sammie

Can you confirm the weights of the range of scopes again. The ones you gave on the earlier thread are a lot less than BAR are quoting.

Thanks Barry
