Scotch_egg Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I know rifle craft had a HDMR at the shooting show. I nearly bought it but the new one has 10mils per rev. It was a very good price. The poor young lad on the stand hadnt a clue what it was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I got a Kahles on test last week and I'm pleased as punch with it, the pricing alone is hard to ignore. I had a look through some of the new Bushnell scopes at the weekend indoors at the show and if the price is right, it could be good but if they are anywhere near the RRP suggested, they will remain on shelves. Looking through glass indoors is never going to tell you much anyway although the features and spec are nice. The Nightforce "Beast" is exactly that, just ridiculously huge with turrets displaying loads of features that are in my cynical mind, bound to either confuse or fail users.

brown dog Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I got a Kahles on test last week and I'm pleased as punch with it, the pricing alone is hard to ignore. How does your illum ret looked when turned up bright and the background blacked out so that you can study it for 'anomalies'? I've seen one that looks like the ret glass has been scotchbrited (which is hopefully being resolved by the importer - I'll keep the board posted on how that turns out). Hmmm.

Sapper811 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks Hatzi. Had the chance to shoot with a few Nightforce scopes last month. Really liked the 3.5 - 15 NXS. Really looking for a scope for .223 short to mid range ( say 4-500m max ) target / varmint / plinking. Whatever i get will be sat on my Tikka T3 Tac until i decide if a calibre change is on the cards and if i have enough cash for an AE. i suppose my budget is £1200 - £1500 max. Interested so far in Vortex / Nightforce / Kahles / Bushnell HDMR - open to other suggestions and recommendations ! Interest in the lower mag scope is for my SGC 9mm and .223 AR. More than likely to go for a Vortex PST but the Razor HD 1-6 i looked at was very nice. £600 more than the PST though. Sightron do look good and liked the look of the new S-Tac range. May be worth waiting to September time when they maybe be over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 How does your illum ret looked when turned up bright and the background blacked out so that you can study it for 'anomalies'? I've seen one that looks like the ret glass has been scotchbrited (which is hopefully being resolved by the importer - I'll keep the board posted on how that turns out). Hmmm. Well i shot a mcqueens with it today and liked it a lot, a delight to use if im honest. I had a really good look at the reticle illumination this evening and when illuminated it is very bright at the top end but easily controlled on the rheostat and of course at 6x its small you might want it turned up really bright anyway for fast aquisition, possibly in low light. Tgp thought he could see spme colour distortion but he was looking through it at a moment when the sun actually came out at diggle today and it was in an unfavourable direction but i couldnt detect it(different eyes). We even had a spot of mirage this afternoon in very still conditions at 300 yards! I liked it, i cant say why, i just did what it promised in an honest, decent value for money package with an 11 year warranty. I was sceptical about the top mounted parallax but ended up really liking it as you can adjust it with the right hand without breaking shooting position(left hand under the butt). Of course its also a lot more accessible to left handed shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
