AT the dealer yesterday and he shows me one of these when I am looking at a 3.5-10x42 . Anyone have one of these scopes and if so how do they like them and what kind of rifle are they mounted on . Thanks

Sempre, I have 2, one on a Sauer 202 in .270 Win and one on a SAKO 75 in .270 WSM. They work great, and I personally prefer the 50mm objective, and like the extra bit of magnification. I shot a few antelope way out there with the SAKO, the reticle made it a snap.

It and the 3-10x42 AV are my two favorite scopes for Lightweight and all purpose rifles. I especially like both of them with the TDS reticle. I have several of each on Kimbers, Berretta Mato's, Dakota's and Sako's, in Calibers from 270 Win to 300 Mags...................DJ

I have a 3-10 on a 30/06, and three 4-12 TDS on 300 RUM, 270 WSM, 7mm/08. For some reason I decided i need TDS Reticles, BY the way the 4-15X 50 mm fits in the Talley Low Rings on all my Rifles so far. Talley's website said to use the Medium Rings. I tried this first with one rifle because I do not like the higher rings.

I have 2, one on a 7 STW and 1 on 375 H&H, The H&H has the TDS reticle and I found it too busy for hunting and I am switching to the 4A reticle
If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

Well I just picked it up after spending more time then really necessary deciding between it and a 3-10x42. It's going on a Sako 300 wsm . For those that have one mounted on a Sako are you using low or medium rings. I am trying to swap factory rings and bases for SS bases and rings from Beretta and the rings(medium) are on back order. gotta love that Beretta customer service.

Sempre, the lowest Warnes (they call mediums) will let it clear your 300 WSM just fine. The low Leupold ringmounts will do it. If you are talking the Optilocks, maybe DJ Paintless can tell you, I know he uses them at least some, I'm confident the medium Opti's would work though, if not the low ones......
Talley low rings on their bases will do it.

Don, I should have my SS rings and bases from Beretta shortly and I will find out one way or another. I may even try the new Leupold dovetail base with QR feature

The black electrical tape is to cover the end of the barrel to keep out potential obstructions when in the field. DJ turned me on to this and it is a good idea. No change in impact or velocity, the bullet blows right through.
