    Selling this straight up now, so starting a new thread to keep things neat.

    It's in good nick. Has one scrape on the objective bell, but that's had zero effect on its image clarity or tracking. It's perfect in terms of function. See the photos below for details. It's been mounted on my .25-06 for a few years now and the dots on it match up nicely out to 300 yards (as far as I've shot it). From talking to its previous owner, it was about perfect on a 7mm-08 out to 700, so pretty much any of our common, flat shooting cartridges, either varminting or stalking, will match up really nicely.

    Looking for €1100 cash, just want to trade straight for a different scope, so it's a pretty good deal.

    Some photos:

    The reticle is Schmidt and Bender's Varmint Dot 8. Being a first focal plane reticle, at lower magnifications it looks like a fine duplex, which is actually quite clever and very useful. At higher magnifications, you can easily use the dots both for range-finding and quickly adjusting your point of aim. It's a great scope, I'm just looking to simplify really.

    Here's the magnified reticle:

    As I say, at lower magnifications, this image forms the central, finer part of a fine duplex. I'm based near Dublin, and shoot regularly in the Midlands if anyone wants a look at this in person.

    BUMP. Got a scope I want to buy now guys, so if anyone's interested, it's ready to go.

    BUMP. If someone wants to make me a cash offer, I could knock a few quid off and make up the difference myself. Looking to make as near as possible a straight trade though, so be sensible guys!

    BUMP. Will take €1000 for this.
