Ah ok mate thanks I never knew the 7x50A was the earlier 1000 scope.
I just recently bought 1 of each 2nd hand and thought the crosshairs were a tad thinner in the 2000. It seems I got a good deal then and the 1000 is mint, considering it's age!!
The later one came in the original box with a warranty card dated 2009.
I think I'll be putting the 2000 on my wmr which will be better with the thin reticle for bunnies at 100yds and the other on my .243 for woodland stalking,
Cheers
