Lewdan, just responding to your post regarding the Steiner scope. I haven't used the scopes but if they are made anything like their binoculars they should be good. Plus the glass will be excellent. Sorry can't say much more. Pleased keep us informed if you do decide to buy it. Lutra Lutra.
Got the scope not long after my original post. Price was so good i could not refuse, very very happy with it, solid build and glass is excellent ! Got it on my 204cal at the moment, shooting plastic coke bottles out to 300 yds is no problem !! would say glass is on par with Zies ect.
