Thread: Lightweight metric dialable scope options...

Of more inportance than the scale of adjustment , ie the courseness , like 1/4 , 1/2 or 0.1mrad , is the actual turret design , and the available amount on one revolution , I like single turn or indicated double/multi turn knobs , as I donot work for NASA , easier to get lost by a rev or 2 on the others .

I think I'll have a 1-8x24 Ffp sometime next month to try on a 6.5x55 for an all rounder. Should be a decent system for actual hunting.

what about a Luepold Mark AR mod 1 3-9x40 - it's mil/mil and gotta be one of the lightest scopes in that size around

Sightron Siii 3.5-10x44 mildot with mil turrets. About 20oz I think.

Have purchased a Leica ERi 2.5-10 x 42 to try out. Went with the plain 4a reticle with a locking elevation turret. Ticks the boxes that I was searching for. Mil adjustments, zero stop, illuminated centre dot. It does have a capped windage turret, but for the ranges I will be shooting (on a 6.5*47L) 90% of the time I will just hold for wind rather than dial. Adjustments are nice and positive (better than my Premier Light Tactical turrets) and 9 mil of up gives heaps of adjustment for the rifle.




Turret locked


1/4 turn of bottom ring unlocks turret


Simple reticle with variable illumination (centre dot) auto on/off if scope is on greater than 70 degree angle (positive or negative)

Turret design is nice...

Did you import it or get it from Lacklands? I asked my local shop for a price and availability two months ago with no reply as yet!

Reticule looks nice and fine.

Yeah got it locally (via Lacklands). I would be asking again as the majority are in stock at Lacklands & it only took a matter of minutes for my local to find out the details...

Introducing the Bushnell LRHS Riflescope - YouTube

Bushy long range hunting scope

I got my wee march 1-8, looks cool. Will put it on my go-to rifle this week and have a play.

They look like a pretty awesome scope in a great power range

I've just bought a 3-15 Zeiss HD5. MOA. From Euro-optics.

A mate is thinking about getting the 5-25 version to go on his 7mmRM for LR hunting. Be keen to hear your thoughts on it, particularly what the turrets are like and perceived reliability and repeatability
