About all I can say is that it would not have hurt my feelings to have left it on my rifle.

Both. First you have to decode it, and then solve a riddle.

They are quite good optically but they are based on the old Weaver tactical.
In fact they look identical in every way apart from the reticle. The reticle is HUGE zoomed in because the reticle is in But they are $800 in england and the weaver tactical was a lot cheaper than that over your side of the pond. So you might think they are a bit expensive because of import tax as well. Link to shop in England that sells them. Edited by Murphy.177 |

expensive stateside, but i would like to own another one - i got one a few months back and am really impressed.
it is a really good scope and PERFECT for what i wanted - i wanted a good dawn/daylight/dusk target scope for my rimfire.
i wouldn't hesitate to put this scope on a 308, 300wm, 338 lapua, etc. it's a target scope. and a very well made one.
the glass is very good japanese glass, and it's built like an army tank. it's heavy, bright, and made for precise shooting.
i wish they could pick up a U.S. distributor, but chris makes a very good point. our dollar is weak.
it's hard to find this configuration w/ an illuminated reticle (nice one) AND good glass. this one has it all.
if you don't need illumination, there are better U.S. available scopes. BUT, that is the icing on the cake for me.
my 2 cents.

All things being equal a Burris that is comparable is comparable price wise as well. Leupold is more, Bushnell slightly less. (If memory serves me right.) If the glass is that good 4200 quality or better it's well worth $800.00 A steal at $400.00, but the fluctuation of exchange rates would be a nightmare. |

They are comparable to the Elite 4200 series or the last model of the Nikon Monarch.

They are $800 in England and I can import a 4200 for $500 so I know where my money is going. What I dont understand is if our £ is so strong against the $. How come a 4-16X40 Elite 4200 in England costs $1,334. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is just takes the piss in my opinion. |
