    Normie, the witches wizards and warlocks supervisory panel do but generally only after a spell has gone horribly wrong (charming prince to frog - that kind of thing)

    I would be keen on a illum 3-18 if they are all they are cracked up to be. I hear there is a massive back log? What are the turrets like Adam? I have tried to find out a bit about them but not much luck. Are they similar to the B elite? Price is bloody good as well eh? Pretty cheap for a decent scope.

    I dont know about the VX6. Turrets are supposed to be rubbish. In saying that I have not checked one in person. Sneeze maybe?

    However, I have ordered a Mark 6 3-18. Its the first time in a long time I'm excited about owning a Leupold again

    Yeh thanks. The bastard's (yanks) are responsible for my belly being over my belt these days. Has nothing to do with the two sausages, steak and meat patties I just had off the work BBQ.

    Yea I dont give 9/13ths bout the turrets really its only for a realistic rifle ie a 500m machine..
    Im aching for someone to bring out say a 2-12x42 with small sleek turrets like that on the bushy 6500s
    side focus and a 30mm tube.. Oh and reasonably light and the most important bit, in metric to top it off..

    Now im sure im not asking to much?
