[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 92311, member: 2245"] Hi Chris, thanks for your support. that S O A B, wound me up with his indignant attitude. the bull that he was posting was in 90% every way contradictory to any sniper training ive ever had, of course, back then we didn't have the luxury of the PMII. we had a WWII vintage fosil onto of a re barreled WWII sniper rifle.( i remember thinking, i have a better scope on my winchester .22lr at home(which is where my brain child the 4-16x42PMII was born)i found it cheap skate of the MOD top issue us with near enough the same **** rifle my Dad had carried 30 and 40 years earlier. things did improve as the M85 as a stop gap was issued to some units, with either a 6x42 S&B, Hensold or Kahles zf85 ( i saw all 3) some no doubt came through local purchase from troop funds, and i mounted my 6x42 nikko stirling (stolen from my .22) on to a SLR as the spotters rifle, it also eventualy ended up on a (yuk spit) SA80. The first ever L96A1 i built was a work of art, and it had a green S&B 6x42 on it. anyways, i didn't want to go into a long and drawn out sniper thread on a long range hunting forum, however intertwined the 2 subjects are. I agree with you on the requirement for a thinner reticle on the PMII and have pointed this out to as many of the S&B staff who will listen several times, including the boss. I know that this will become an option on all the S&B PMII range and the Klein ret is available on the 4-16x50 definately. i want to see a thinner illuminated reticle. this will all come along, i also want to see the technology from the 1.25-4 CQB PMII scope incorporated into a 1.5-6x42 zenthith PMII, with Flash dot, 3 settings on the ret for NV. and also normal dark conditions illuminated reticle. This would make the optimim DMR scope, it would be very usable in MOUT scenarios, and would make a **** good driven boar ( or driven Haji) scope. Pete [/QUOTE]
