I have a 6 to 24 x 56 Nighteater.

At times it's alright, at others it's unusable.

At the wrong angle to bright light it will flare and you can see nothing through it. As it was on a 17 HMR for rabbits this became a nuisance to say the least.

Would I buy another one? No.

Leupold VX11 3-9X40 for £135 with a few marks here and there

Burris Fullfield 2 BDC ret with box and in fairly good nick for £125...

Both plus postage.

Either of these scope will wipe the floor with any of the above mentioned..

The only drawback is the 9X mag on a hummer. I'd want a bit more.
