Good Lord!

I took delivery of a lowly 8x56 Hungarian Schmidt today, slapped it on my 223 and took it out into streetlight to compare with the MTC, Hawke and Falcon scopes I've been using before and have previously considered pretty good.

 

I was amazed at the difference! Not too bad in daylight, but at night it's enormous.

 

Can't wait to get it out shooting, but just looking out and about, I could see dark roofs, behind shining streetlamps, things I can't see with the naked eye at all. The best of my others, the Hawke, could just about make out the roof in question. Looking through the Schmidt, had there theoretically been a pigeon there, I could have knocked him off. Gobsmacked!

You're screwed now ML, you do know that right? You've taken a giant leap onto the slippery slope that is expensive and lovely glass

 

No looking back now

Yes, that was my thought as I stepped back inside! Just another 5 to go... Only I will need some of their finer rets on some of the scopes, and more power, so about £6,000 worth. EEEEEK! Damn fine kit though.

For the love of God man! Do you not know the first rule of owning guns!

 

Never add up what you spend

 

It's the surest and quickest way to casulty

 

What reticle did you get by the way?

[Mr_Logic 5]

It's the #8, plain crosshair. Love it or a German #4 under the lamp, the heavy posts bring my eye quickly and easily to the centre. The sight picture at night on this thing amazes me; in the daylight I thought it good but not worth the cash. Assuming it's great with the lamp, no major white-out, then my goodness me...!
