And Weavers, long ago.

Will be insane price.

Top turret is too high to my taste . The Swarovski z5 has still my preference.

And mil dots and a whole lot of other reticles. Range finders have meant that people have mostly forgotten how to do it.

Looks really good.

S + B - highly underrated!
Others big brands over here have just the better marketing!

My thoughts are that they could have done more with a first focal plane reticle , like thick 0.2 mRad crosshairs for use at 3-6x outside the first or second mildot then extra fine inside that for use at 18x. Mildot ranging with 2FP will always be dodgy.

Then they need those real flat compact turrets, possibly with a non-illumination option for simplicity. The elevation turret looks logical but only for range/ target shooting. For hunting you can memorise the comeups in mRad out to 400m .

Otherwise it looks like a great scope, an upgrade on the klassik 3-12.

S&B scopes market themselves. But they do have an excellent catalogue and website.

Bagheera, what do you mean by market themselves?

You hope it's a good scope for 5k nz!
I would be interested to look at one in the flesh

Like toyota Hilux, Honda quads might not be amazing, but those that have them no, they won't let you down.
