Not sure where to get them, I have just boght a old one second hand and its excellent optics are crystal clear. I've apparently dropped lucky on this one as its the original philippines made model which are apparently the better quality optics. But even the newer simmons are good for the money

Its fine matey. Just found this scope at uttings £179.99 seems like a average price mate.

I'm really not sure of the story on these, the original Philippines model was excellent VFM and sold steadily for years at around £200-£210.

 

Then it all went tits up, production stopped, Chinese copies turned up and their reputation went down the toilet.

 

They are available again now and made in the Philippines as well I understand.

 

That is the story as I know/see it, if I have bit wrong or someone can fill in more detail that would be great.

 

I don't normally carry these but I can offer Brand New current production models WTC 3.5-10x50 Super Nightview at £160.00 including delivery (UK Mainland). The problem is the UK distributor has a minimum 10 off order, so I will need 10 people to buy one, if you are interested let me know!

Yes...But...only available with a 30/30 reticle, which is not commonly first choice at distance, but all down to personal preference!
