    Question Looking for Good hunting glass - with good turret system?

    Not after the worlds best. Just after something in the ball park of;
    4-16x50.
    Decent low light.
    Bush or hill top.
    Second hand or new.
    A good turret set up (like millet)?
    Lighter is preferable.

    $1000-$1500 NZD

    Any top advice?

    Currently have a sightron S3. It's nice, just not good for scrub. If only it had turret locks or covers.

    Cheers.

    Carl

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
