[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 286062, member: 13285"] Hi pahaoa, Sounds like you have done the background work on this deal, well done. Yes, Night Eater scopes are popular over here in Aus, with budget minded shooters but I don't know if many pro roo shooters who would ever use them. I think that would be a Kiwi Myth!!! Pro Roo shooters are dependant on the quality of their equipment. Most pro Roo shooters I know have only top flight rigs and can write them off on their tax returns each year, so it would not pay them to run cheep scopes. A scope failure could cost them a weeks income by the time the rifle is back up and working again. Remember they operate in remote locations and replacement scopes can be hard to come by. A weeks income to a Pro Roo Shooter is a few thousand dollars, so you can see why it may be a myth The Aussie Pro Roo shooters as a whole, kill millions of Roos each year. It is hard for a recreational hunter to to comprehend the amount of killing that each one may do. Most Roos are shot in the head at night, anywhere from 50 to 200 yards. Each shooter will kill thousands of Roos each year. A mate of mind bought a Nikko, Night Eater scope not long back, He put it on a .243 for general day time shooting and it seems to work OK but it lacks a bit in poor light. [/QUOTE]
