    Exactly. My eyes are 66 and 56 years old respectively. One is newer because its had a lens replaced because of a cataract. My shooting eye is the older one, and a bit tired. So, I figured that this 'scope would maybe give me a sharper picture until I get the second eye done (if ever).

    Recently I have been noticing that focussing on both the animal and the reticle at the same time was becoming a bit out of sync, so saw this as a useful remedy.
    Plus, I've always wanted a Nightforce.

    Can we have just 1 photo of Brian smiling? Have you got any?

    Nice scope. Proven in the field

    $955 from Oz ($AUS?) + freight + GST + customs would equate similar to what you paid

    The tactical sack was so that we could dispose of all evidence and leave no trace of us ever having
    been there.

    It wasn't exactly hard core hunting.

    You could have saved a few bob and got a tasco for those shots.

    @Tahr based on your current trends and requirements I would be willing to consider a straight swap for my .44Mag Rossi??? Deadly within 60metres!
    That scope of yours would definitely be an overkill for the type of hunting that I do however I would more than willing to help out a fellow Knife loving, scope hugging sharp shooter like yourself
    Nice scope. Nice deer.
