    Hi all,

    I'm interested in getting a precision hunter 4-16x50. Anybody any thoughts or input? My local dealer is telling me that they're now coming with a 34mm body not 30mm, I don't mind, I doubt this. On the S&B website they're still saying 30mm.

    obviously S+B are a fantastic scope but do you really need the 16 times mag for hunting. What quarry are you going after with it

    I know the above is rich coming from someone with a 12-42 scope.

    If I was buying a pure hunting scope (deer and fox/lamping) it would be a hungarian S&B fixed 8x56 scope, no parrallax to be farting about with

    It's for stalking/targets. Its to sit on a .308 sako.

    A mate has one and I like it in comparison to swarovski. Some people might disagree...:confused:
