Thanks @stug and @steven for your comments...
Steven - I'll take a good look at the Bushnell but it did get a bit of ragging in this US site Quick Review: Sightron SIII 6-24×50 LR Mildot « Daily Bulletin
Mind you its getting pretty hard to sieve the shit from the clay when you go out and do a review on the internet, especially when they don't reveal who and where their allegiances are - makes it bloody hard - hence I thought I'd ask the GC's on this site.
Stug - as always good advice - of the two I was looking the same way as the bigger one just seemed like overkill and heavier to lug into the southern Alps hopefully next year it was really in there in case I just became a desk riding paper puncher!!!
Nice notes about the Weaver Grandslam and Leupold. I'm sorry but I feel Leupolds losing its way a bit in its newer items (and Price point for what you get) Although I know in a lot of shooters dependability as a component of the mind game can be really important.
Thanks guys for your thoughts - Any other comments gratefully received and I will chew on!! Steven be really interested to hear which way you go for your project - I had a real hard time getting the Warne's to stay put on my dovetails under recoil... Think I've got it sussed now but man!!! will use this opportunity to get new rings too so any suggestions about that!!
