[QUOTE="joeycoates, post: 929432, member: 72330"] I do agree that the asking price is steep, but you should see what Schmidt & Bender wants for their new scope (I think a 3-27 or something like that), $7000..... And no it is not NV or thermal! One of the reasons that I can look at it is due to my military status, otherwise it would be out of my reach. As it is it would still be the most expensive scope that I own or have owned by a very large margin. The good thing though is that if I do not like it I could easily sell it on the hide, but I kind of doubt that I would not be impressed. If I do end up buying it I will give some feedback on what I think of it on here. It is not really designed for hunting which is what I really would use it for, but it does have some really good features with the msr reticle that I think would lend itself to hunting. You would have to look at the reticle, but it has some features that will be really good for ranging using the milirad system. In East Texas during deer season it is very common to have ground fog in the mornings. I have had many, many instances where I could see a deer, but the rangefinder would not work due to the fog. This last year was really bad for one reason or another. The msr reticle has ranging bars which are designed to measure 1 meter at 400-1300 meters distance. They did this to be able to measure from the crotch to the head on an average male (chose crotch to head since it would be difficult to measure from the feet if a person is standing/walking in brush) and 1 meter is right in there with the average height of an adult white tail deer. Just a coincidence, but a handy one at that. Anyway, I am seriously considering giving one a try, the optics are also said to be very good as could be expected from a scope with that kind of cost...
