Why are so many people selling these already? I plan on getting one myself, but seeing everyone selling them off makes me think twice.
Granted I've never looked through a FFP scope higher in magnification than 25 but wouldn't the reticle become so large as to obscure the target at a higher magnification?
Exaclty what Haroldwilson said. I have the Steiner with MSR reticle and really like it. I don't think it gets too big but it is noticeably thicker than my SS 5-20...because the SS is getting 4x thicker and the Steiner is getting 5x thicker. BUT you really want to talk about getting thicker? I just picked up a March 3-24x scope and I absolutely LOVE everything about this little scope other than the reticle having to get 8x thicker. It's super thin at low power and just a hair too thick at max power. Oh well....I'll just deal with it because everything else about it is perfection (to me).
I must warn you.....even if you don't like what the 8x does to the reticle, just about everything else about the March scope will probably win you over, one feature being how small it is. Now I just got this and recently sighted it in so I don't have much time behind it but the turret clicks are just right without requiring too much effort to turn, setting the zero stop is super simple and even though I like how the push button illumination works, it's kinda sad it's only 4 intensity settings and you have to keep pushing to reach the one you want. I like that the Steiner has an OFF position between each illumination intensity setting. And while I'm on the Steiner, the second turn elevation indicator is just about the coolest thing ever. Now, back to the March scope....did I mention how small it is?....it's HALF THE SIZE!!!! (not really but close, lol)
Steiner has 5x zoom and Kahles has 6x zoom. You can get both with the MSR reticle. I notice that Kahles made their MSR reticle thinner than the Steiner. It could be because the Kahles has 6x zoom compared to Steiner's 5x?

Had my March F 3-24 42mm and March Fx 5-40 56mm in mil/mil for 6 months and have still found no other scope that even comes close. While the reticle does become thick at the top end, they both have a central floating dot that solves that issue. Size is amazing! Both have been rugged and trouble free. Use the 5-40 as a spotting scope also. Like the S&B 5-25 56mm also, but only the DT turrets. March warranty 5 years or more while S&B only 2years on their tacticle scopes.
