And two of its little sisters in 3-12x44
They are a bit heavy but the reticule by is very good , at both end of magnification.

Keen to sell a 3-12x44?
I've been looking for one for years, I ended up buying a 4.5-18 LRHS which is nice, but I think the 3-12 is the better magnification for hunting.

How did you get it?

G.A Precision would only ship within the US or Canada last time I enquired, as that scope would be ITAR restricted due to the reticle.

Where did you get the 3-12 ?

I bought the last 3-12 in the country. The other one on an auction. The 4.5-18 came through a mate in USA.
Sorry I am keeping them .

Have a look at the athlon Helos BTR gen 2 2-12, reticle looks near enough to the LRHS

I am sorry but we currently are not shipping internationally. Optics Warehouse currently retails our scopes and hopefully you can purchase the SS scope you need from them.

Do workarounds like NZ Post's (useless) You Post work for that sort of issue?

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Have to get a Mark 4HD to have a look at then...

I like both my 2.5x20 nf.
I have one of each F1/F2 and quite happy with either for hunting.
The 20 power does coming handy for me.

How often are you using the 2.5x mag Andy?

To be fair I always leave any scope on minimum power and find my target then adjust to where I want to shoot.
Ffp if it's a bit marginal with background or light j have my illumination on quite low so I have at least a red dot as an aiming point.
Your usually close enough that's all you need.
To be fair I wouldn't buy a ffp scope with out illumination.

I have a March 3-24x52 FFP fml reticle I’d sell. $3k if anyone was interested
