A Friend of mine asked me a few questions regarding the above scopes as he's thinking of getting the 2.5 to 16 x 42 version with Mil Dot Reticule. I'm out of touch myself as regards availability and pricing of these items, so would like to know if they are readily available and if so, what's going to be the likely cost to him. He believes that they are no longer available new any more, so it's second hand prices that he'd be grateful for.

As an aside to the above, if that particular scope is not available (or outside of his price range), is there an equivalent specification high quality scope from another manufacturer that might be equally suitable for him.

All useful technical input and suggested pricing appreciated,

Thanks, Vic Thompson.
