Wondered that ,
(I found one advertised!)
I couldn't find a review or anything. I have the pm11 but its a bit heavy for work and has to much going on.
Could this 12x56 be a discontinued item or is it likely to be a fake

After a quick Google search it looks like it might be an old model - steel tube by the looks of it.
Not much good for shooting the close stuff!

Im a roo shooter in Western Australia, so all shots must be brain shots out to about 250m. Could be a good option then

Yes I have one bloody good scope only down side for small game is they have a picket post reticle the modern version has a mil dot type reticle but are very expensive, an 8x56 should be ok for head shots at 250 metres
I have head shot hares at 200 metres with a 6x on my .222 with out any problem.
