I might just do that mate as I've just today sold my pard008S so I'm needing something to replace it.

Soooo - tempted by the current offers on the Zulus (and the auto record function) but not sure if I should go for the 3 or 5X version for my .222 - anyone with real world experience who can offer advice please? Also for the Remmy 700 is it the 0MOA S or 35 MOA L Rail?
Thanks chaps.
I have the 5x on my 17 Rem and it is so good. accurate, light and mutch better than I expected.

Wonder if they'll do it on the non Lrf? @Blackwood Outdoors ? That'd seal the deal for me..
AFAIK, there are no plans for a non LRF 3-12
The 3-12 is aimed primarily at airgunners and rimfire shooters where the LRF and ballistic calculator are at their most useful, so the market for a non LRF version would be quite small
So, get your money out of Fort Knox and ante up for a 3-12 with LRF

You misunderstood me Bruce, I meant the x5 non Lrf. It'll be going on a 204 Ruger so no need for LrfAFAIK, there are no plans for a non LRF 3-12

OK, apologies for the error
You can get a 5-20 non LRF Zulus for 10% off list price at Blackwood Outdoors simply by asking nicely
That brings it down to £414 which is an absolute steal for what you're getting

I just don't need it mate. The NV I just sold bad ballistic calculator. Using it on my 204, zero at 100 and barely any alterations out to 300. I never bothered even pressing it eventually.Or spend another £125 and get the LRF version - I just did!
Agreed, on a 204 the LRF is a waste of money
IMHO, the LRF doesn't give any significant advantage on pretty much every centrefire from 222 REM upwards
On rifles like that, the LRF and BC is definitely a "want" rather than a "need"

Yep but think just how impressed “your friend” will be when you say with utter conviction and without fear of contradiction “that shot was 219 yards!”.
Or when you miss and tell him it was 400 yards

I've no friends so I'm definitely not going to bother now!!Yep but think just how impressed “your friend” will be when you say with utter conviction and without fear of contradiction “that shot was 219 yards!”.
Not sure I agree with that statement Bruce when you want to ensure a clean kill on a Lamb killer that has rumbled you and is heading for the hills, you know he will stop somewhere along the hedge before he goes through.
In situations like that, you generally don't have enough time to press the LRF button twice before taking the shot

I don’t get having all the LRF and ballistics integrated in the scope either.
For me the most versatile option is a thermal spotter with integrated LRF, spot quarry, ping for distance and shoot with the same holdover or clicks we have all been using up until the last 18months! What do people do when they switch over to normal glass?

Ah yes perhaps I should have explained more, I was referring to the the LRF scan mode available on units like the Thermion LRF models or the Pard DS35.
