Had a quick look yesterday, seems quite repeatable like my old VX3 and Mark 4.

The way I would describe it is like a variable zoom Comp Series with the extra bulk of going 34mm for no reason except more elevation adjustment for F Class.

Having used a VX3 for 6 years I sensed straight away its dislike for blue light, that 55 yard can come in 48 yards where 2 yards out is a miss.

Here's the major problem even discounted its only 42 mag, is it 42 mag? My old 20-50 was 45 mag same as BSA/Nikko and some producers tend to over exagerate actual magnifications rounding them up. Either way too dear for UK market infiltrating March, Sightron SV, Kahles, S&B PM2 pricing territory all with far greater mag and optics.

The problem with refocussing is the scope may or may not perform dependant upon each assembled scope. Not seen a producer yet certainly Leupold and March where two scopes are the same either optically or the way it works.

Seen dozens where they work better to infinity or a bit less, equally seen and done dozens where they work better to top out at 58 yards - the 10 yard is irrelevant, each user has to set the scope to liking that he or she can only do, not producer.

UK RRP is £2850 and would anticipate shops selling £2400-2500, substantially dearer than the better Kahles K1050FT and March 10-60 Tacticals no contest needs to be £1600 top whack £1700 UK. Then theres always that if I paid £500 more i could have a March far superior in mag and unrivalled resolution.
