I have a bunch of older Swarovski 1.5-6 x 42 steel bodied scopes, they have FFP thick reticles, the gap between the thick reticle ends are 70cm at any zoom setting, they are great for rough range finder and were my standard stalking scopes for decades. I never felt that I needed more than 6 x for magnification. Now I have lots of newer Swarovski models but still love to shoot my thick reticle versions.
Keep on eye out you will find one at a reasonable price these days, good luck in your search.
Left hand hand - 4-12 x 50 25mm tube, plex reticle (last picture)
Right hand - 3-12 x 50 30mm tube 4 reticle (third picture)
Both have good lenses, I can't see any marks on them. The 25 mm tube is in very nice condition £500
The 30mm tube has a bit of an odd dull cast to the metal, so £400.
