Ok but it fits unfolded in 1750 - that's what I wanted to know :)

Do you know if there is any RPR in stock in the UK? This waiting is annoying...

I've just been quoted April for a .308 & that's via trade! So I'd say the only ones are those already spoken for.

Got mine today! It is lovely!
Now I need to get some 'budget' scope before funds allow for a proper one. Any ideas in £300 bracket?

Try one of the budget scopes from Fox Firearms.

Looks like those are ZOS scopes under different brand name. Did you try them?

I have one of these Foxes, a 10-40 x 50, and they're fine. Was on a 308, now on a 6BR. Mine is the non-illuminated version. I paid around £150 posted for it.
They may well be made at the Zos factory, but they're definitely a couple of orders of magnitude better than the fleabay offerings.
Has a fine plain target dot reticle in the second focal plane, and 1/8 moa clicks. Big fat easy to read turrets.
Sharpness/contrast starts to fall off a bit at 35x mag, but it holds zero, and is all you really need for target shooting.
