You'd be able to count their whiskers at 300m with this monster!

It just stomped on the other two!

How long till a 100X or more.

May aswell just jam a telescope on there, some massive rings

Ive got a 10-50x60 target scope (nikko)

Winding it up to 50 power makes things pretty blurry its a mildly warm day, otherwise if its cool then it works fine. Picks up the mirage/heatwaves coming off the barrel at high mags so I usually run it around 40 power on cooler days and today being warm it got set back to 30 on the second round. At 10 power is as clear as my bushnell 4200 elite during the day. Trying the same magnification and objective in a big $ scope would be great. Imagine zooming up to count the number of fleas on a rabbits coat before making it go splat.

I can notice my heartbeat on 24X so I would find these completly useless! I never go over 16X unless I am looking at something in the distance from a rest.

The Aussie dealer won't have them for some weeks yet---- very approx Aussie price is around $1,600.00. The Optic Zone in the USA has already replied to an email and they can send it for approx $1060.00. I assume that Aussie dollars--- I'd better check

I did put my 10-50x60 on the 22 knackers. Scope was almost as long as the rifle. It was funny actually zooming right into the 50m target and watching little holes appear in the paper. But it did get boring after a while and trying to shoot rabbits with the overbalanced 22 turned out to be a PITA. Back on with the 3-9 and it was much better.

I never noticed before, but a Zeiss scope has a 72mm objective.

What would it need, ultra high rings or something?

Victory Diavari 6 - 24 x 72

That's ridiculous

Yeah i just sent an e-mail to The Optic Zone and they gave me a price of $1063.00 (USD) posted to me, that works out to be under $1200 AU so i good price i think. And since i just found out the the 12-42x56 NF BR has gone up too $1760 AU then it make the Sightron appeal even more.
