[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 18769, member: 1622"] Petander, You're looking at the PV 6-24x50 P. The PV-S version has target turrets: [url="http://www.swarovskioptik.at"]http://www.swarovskioptik.at[/url] “Swarovski PV-S 6-24x50 P. Specially designed for competition shooting with parallax correction, sun shield, [B]target turrets[/B], reticle adjustment with extended elevation adjustment range and reticle in the second image plane for precise shooting with low target coverage, even at high magnification. It has, of course, all the other benefits of the P-series.” I'm must say, that I'm very 'pro' Swarovski -I've got a pair of 10x42 EL Binos-which I reckon to be the best binos in existence- I've also got one of their 3-12x50 scopes (again very good, but rather long)- but, personally, I didn't go for their 6-24 for 3 reasons; I don't like front AO (as opposed to side focus, it's awkward.
