In skilled hands the 20-50 is indeed a wonderfull scope but for normal mortals like me they are just too variable. I had one for a year before the frustration of the change in range finding made me give up on it.
They are not all as sensitive to temperature as each other and I have heard that some are not sensitive at all but I can only report on the ones that I have used and all of those were. Perhaps their owners just did not notice the change.

20-50's can be made better by adjusting the end lens...trying to make it max out at around 57-60 can deliver better snap...some snap better than others, with some its a case of picking out the detail, but the common thing with them i've heard is that they all need work learning.

I have the big nikko and it is very sensitive to the temperature.I was there thinking of buying the new FT SB. you believe than with the finished one that it brings and the construction of the viewfinder in if it was helping to that every day and in every situation the viewfinder changes the point of impact?

thanks

Thre are two PR 20-50x50, the older PR Vari x 3 from Jan 1998 (35 & 40 mag 1997) and the newer Feb 2004 onwards VX3 of which i have never heard anyone complain of temp. Both look visually the same.

Theres a cracking PR 35 Mark 4 up NE second best rangefinder i owned begged stole or borrowed. Far superior optically to any other scope except the S&B 25 mag but very close if not better in some ways.

Anyone liking the Burris will like the Comp Series in terms of optics. Looked through loads of Comp Series in all mags and have not found one i could use.
NXS 42 mag are quite good and well built. The 32 and 25 mag versions are quite useless for rangefinding plus optically milky.
The S&B 50 mag not released yet should on the whole be the best all rounder by everyone. If it works like the 2nd focal plane prototype modded mid September last year, it will be the envy of most shooters and cheaper than the NXS.
Best value for money if only buying one could be the Niko 50 mag, providing you can use one. Its fairly common to find owners that have gone through more than ten to find a good one, false economy.

Must be noted that all production scopes are different from each other in some way, some just dont perform, some are generally rough, some average, some good and very rarely a masterpiece is found and retained.

Try as many as you can before parting with cash.
