Game dealers can be useful, I have had several referrals via them!

Yes, I phoned them on Friday but they are now not so sure they will be at the show so I am going to get in touch with SureShot as they are a dealer and taking a stand at the show.  MTC have their new FFP scope out as well, I think it is the  cobra F1 but they prone to white out on other models so will this new one be the same.

Dealers for Discovery are bloody miles from me, Cleveland and Birmingham so 2hrs minimum. I said the the chap that they need dealers in Yorks, Notts, Lincs but I don't think he could be bothered to chase new business. The scopes might be good but he didn't impress me.

The mtc cobra f1 isn't much good Phil, the salesman tried to get me to get 1 as a replacement for my discovery ffp that I returned due to faults with it ! If you have bad eyes, I would really advise not to go for a ffp scope, I ended up looking at loads, 

I ended up buying a mtc viper connect,  the dealer wanted £290 for a new 1, I got mine of a mate £180 as new with a mtc mount !

I cant get on with mtc scopes even the connect but my mate loves them  . Either Hawke or Discovery for me but turning more to Discovery after the two we have

mil& 1/2mil Hawkes for me all day long!

I am not going to jump into any scope until I have had the surgery and it has settled down and ok again. I have to say as my eyes are getting worse so the trend for very fine cross hairs is not too great for me but an FFP may help or at least I thought that it might help.

Phil, the thing with any ffp scope is that the reticles are super fine, you will end up setting to nearly max magnification just to see the reticle clearly, I'm my opinion a waste of money if you need to use on max setting

I take your point Sean, I had a look through the new POA or is it PAO, whichever...... just released and a demo unit was in my RFD so I had a look through but it was not on a gun so I was struggling to see properly. I put it on 7x mag which was not bad but that is the only one I have looked through.

I am curious to see what things will be like after my eye op hence taking a bit of time at the show in May.
