Doctor Scopes

Thinking of buying a Docter LP Reticle 2.5-10x48 illuminated for my 243 sako 85, priced at £745

Has anyone got any thoughts on the scope

Thanks

They are very good now, they used to be ok but have been improved a lot over the years. Another scope to consider is the Karl Kaps range, again very very good.

I've got a Docter on my 17HMR - very good optics; not quite on a par as the Swarovski that I have on my 243, BUT it did cost significantly less for a like-for-like specification.

I guess some of it depends upon how deep your pockets are - had I had the extra hunderds required, I'd probably have got another Swaro - but equally I have not regretted buying a Docter.

It certainly ain't no cheap n cheerful 2nd rate 'made in Chinese sweatshop' tube!!

Gets a thumbs up from me!

ATB,

Good scope has never let me down in the 4 years i have had it & am thinking of getting one for the .270 that i have just bought.

I am sure the Doctor is fine. But, for another £50 you can buy a Swaro 2.5-10x42 with ill Ret. It will be at least as good, if not a bit better than the Doctor. The difference is, the day you decide to sell, you can put the Swaro on Ebay and recoup most, if not all of what you spent.

Buy the Swaro.....

I've got the same and second the low light capabilities, I believe they were testested alongside all the big names and came out top in this department. I find the illumination adjustment a minor pain but apart from that great. Back up good too.

I have one 2,5-10x48 Docktor on my 6.5x57R/16G combination gun without the reticule light.
I have an illuminated Zeiss 3-12x56 on my drilling and never switch it on as at 60 years old my eyes say go home before I need to switch it on. For me everyone said buy one so I did, it was a waste of money (for me).
Oh well I am off to the USA tomorrow for 2 funerals (the first is my best buddys send off and the second hopefully will be a wild turkeys afterwards)
Plus of course the de rigeur shopping trips through Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop.
