    Whitetail Classic 1.5-5x20

    Received this today did a swap for another scope. It came as new in its original box. First impressions I thought it was a very well made and a good looking little scope. Mounted it on my S400 .22 Carbine it looks really good. Zeroed it to 25yds. Wow the optics on this little scope are fantastic great crystal clear field of view with a sharp duplex reticule. Easily zeroed with between 10-15 shots pellet on pellet at 25yds. A highly recommended short distance hunting scope.

    I have this scope on my Skan and it is truly exceptional. I can why Mike recommends them. Glad I bought it.

    Good luck with the sale

    Just took delivery of one today and was out with it this evening - astonishing bit of glass! A piece of minimalist dog's ********, cannot recommend it enough.

    Thumbs up

    Having owned one I agree with everything written except for the low mag which was the reason I sold mine! For those shooters who go ratting regularly I suppose it has to be the best scope around.

    Have used one on my SKAN Ultra for a few years now, would not hunt with any other scope - perfect picture, no need to dial in and the diamond style reticule gives you a very precise set of aim points.

    I agree with that-the diamond reticle is really good and I am surprised that not more scopes use it. However the standard 1.5-5x20 has a 30:30 ret-I think the diamond mag was intended for use on shotguns or so a dealer told me.

    I use it solely for rat shooting on my lightning xl compared to my previous hawke its so much better optically. Ive gradually been getting accustomed to the set up, worked really well last Thursday 16 confirmed rat kills at my local permission my best yet. Would like to get my hands on a older simmons pro air just got to keep my eye out for one.

    Yes excellent little scope, and looks just right on a Lee Enfield MK 4 if you have a mind to scope one up.
