Will do, but won't be able to try it out properly for a couple of weeks or so. If they are legit, and I'm sure they are, then they have got to be a bargain. Mine will not have the CQB mount.

Hope you haven’t paid out the full amount without a guaranteed delivery date, were they not in stock when advertised?

Would really like to know what these are like if you haven't got yours yet when are you expecting delivery?

The scope arrived this morning. The first thing I noticed is that there was no battery, and it’s a fairly unusual one too. Luckly, I had ordered one off the Bay as a spare!
It’s well built, and simple to use. It’s a bit lighter than the Schmidt I had on the gun before. The optics are very nice and clear, as you would expect. The reticle is a little less busy than the image on the Lantec site, with small horizontal lines rather than circles, and is very fine. The reticle is specific to .223 / 556, though I will probably be using it on a .22. I’m sure it will be fine and that the top 2 or 3 lines will be useful as aim points. The red dot is nice and clear and suitably small with 5 levels of illumination, or instead of the red dot, turning the knob the other way, there are 5 levels of illumination of the reticle. I like the lever that instantly changes the magnification from x1 to x4 – no faffing about.
I’ve not been able to use it on the range, so haven’t tried zeroing in yet. Hopefully there shouldn’t be a problem.
