Some nice optics you have there by the way mate.

It is clear to look through, just scoped my animals out the back. The cross hairs are fine alright but the wider sections do draw you to centre quite well. Like most Plex in this style. Haven't tried it in low light yet or under spotty. Will do tomorrow. Geoff my LGS owner said he used to sell them when he started out in the industry 25 years ago.

Were great under light. never used them much in the day. 80% was spot lighting, day shooting was 410 SB, pumpy 12G or 22lr semi with iron sights mainly.

No more funds available for shooting for awhile though.

Seems a reasonable price for a 1" tube 4-16x42 scope but what's with the in stock and ships in 6-8 weeks?? I'd have expected an instock item to ship much faster. Have you considered any of the Vortex scopes? Similar price to the Nikon and available much faster. Check this one below as a guide to what's available in that price range and I'd prefer 50mm over 42mm objective especially if spot lighting.
