Sorry. I do like Hensoldts'. Hensoldt manufactures some of the finest tactical scopes around and your 3-12X is a great complement to your Tango 51 and should serve you well for hunting and tactical shooting. However, the the lines of the standard Mildot reticle are too coarse to provide an exacting, precise point of aim. FFP or SFP, theres' no substitute for a fine reticle for F-Class targets.

I've heard the Sightrons' are excellent scopes for the money, but I haven't looked into them (no pun intended). I did see a 2.5-25X SFP MIL=based March Tactical mounted on a Tac Ops rifle at Mike's. Unfortunately, I couldn't go outside for a better viewing opportunity or location to test the optical clarity because I didn't want to scare the sheepeople and have someone dial 911. The March 2.5-25X Tactical has great turrets and is amazingly compact - it is dwarfed by the PMII 5-25X.
Also, I find swapping optics a PITA. Once I mount, plumb line, and zero zero the scope I don't like to keep doing it all over again and again.

We'll have to trust someone else with the camera. How can the three of us all be in the photos if we're shooting? Besides - I'm too preoccupied with shooting to bother with a camera.</div></div>

I like the F1, but I still prefer my PMII 5-25X Gen 2 XRs'!
