Well guys where do I start first impressions when you remove it from the box is wow. Then when you mount it on your rifle and start to use it you know exactly why you spent the thick end of £2k on it. I've now had a few weeks to get to grips with it and it really is a excelent piece of kit the sight picture is crisp all the adjustment is positive and repeatable. Parallax and mag are very smooth. We were out for a shoot last week and it was to dark to see what was around with the naked eye but through the scope it was still possible to see. The ret is also very good I have 2 of the scopes 1 is the 63 ret which is a skeleton mil dot iluminated and the other is the 43 mildot both work really well but I tend to dial
Sorry if the review is shite it's my first one

But any questions just ask

Yup, that the thing about good quality scopes. You pay for the performance and it’s night and day difference when compared to the economy scopes especially at twilight. Once a buddy saw my Swarovski when he compared it with his scope he commented that "you can see into the future" with such a scope. Ah, that's only half true. ;) ;) ;) ;)

No, it's true...you know that next month when the credit card bill comes in, you're going to be skint! :grin:

I'm still kicking myself for turning one of those Zeiss's down a couple of years ago when offered an as-new one at very much less than new prices!

if anyone’s in doubt just how good these scopes are you should try one ;)
at 1100 yards i was happily sighting a cows eyeball,you can see individual blades of grass at 700+,but it is at low light that amazed me we were sat talking after shooting one night way past dusk and i tried his scope,it was like some one had turned on a light :shock: 8-) the difference has to be seen to believe.

Here's a interesting fact for you zeiss owners. I was looking through a only copy of sporting rifle from 07 and noticed the uttings add for my scope it was £1100 new. The interesting thing is if you have one you bought in 07 in good condition you will of had the use of it for 5 years and its gone up in value to the tune of £200

As they say the cream rises :grin:
