Has anyone any opinions on these scopes for F Class? The price is about right for me but I don't want to have buyers regret after the purchase. I have heard people say good things about them. To get anything bigger or a NF BR for example I would have to spend several hundred more. Honest opinions would be greatly appreciated.

PM Brad Y, he has one on his F-Open rig. I think he likes it alot. Hope he will chime in. Also look at the 10-50x60 LR aswell as its a good scope.

I've had no problems with my 10-50x60. The optics aren't quite up to NF or Leupold, but it has side focus and is lighter than the NF BR, and unlike the Leupold, it has 1/8 min clicks and no problem with parallax/focus. So if you want something in the medium price range, I would recommend them. We are hearing of occasional problems with them, but I'm sure its because there is an increasing number of them about.

Steve have a look at
http://www.arcadian-sales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc my dad has bought 5 scopes from them all 10-50's. Never had a problem and hasalways had great service. If the dollar is right you can get the 10-50 for under $1000 and not pay gst.

Thanks for the info. If the dollar keeps going up it could be a good time to buy a 10-50. Wouldn't be such a problem if i wasn't such a tight A$$.

No problem at all with the 8-32 over the last few years. Its served me well on a 308, 223, 6 dasher, 260 improved and now 284 shehane. Ive only heard of one failing and that was a 10-50. At this point I do need to look at a second scope and I intend to purchase another of the same.

One word of advice for this game would be to go for the 1/8th click version if possible (and in your budget). Even if you are happy with 1/4 moa clicks you might get in a situation where your coach wants to wind in 1/8ths

Thanks Dave,
One of the target dot versions has 1/8" clicks and is the same price.
