Ambled off to Bisley today to try out this scope that has an automatic drop adjustment and incorporates a range finder.
As it turned out I did not have a "certificate of competence" I could not shoot on the range so one of the experts had a go.
I had already zeroed it at 100 yards before going so once the ace was used to the trigger his 2nd shot was a bang in the middle.
Off to the 500 yard ranges. The scope meaured it at 501 so that was allright. The first shot was a little to the right as no account was taken off the wind. The second shot 2 inch below.
We left it at that and went home. Not certain who was more impressed with this bit of kit, me or the range instructor.
See that it is now priced at under £ 600 on Google. In my view a bit of kit worth having as it saves carrying around a range finder.
Am curious how if it will survive the rough treatment it will get in the field; we will see.
