I've got two and seem to have fitted one succesfully to my gallery rifle, Zeiss scope for a tenner anyone? tongueout

Got one

Not fitted it to any bang-stick yet, as looking for a suitable mount

Mine was a bit more than a tenner though!

Plan to use mine as a flip-to-side magnifier for an Aimpoint C68 red-dot

There is a good article on-line on how to remove the anti-tank graticle

Yeah, I've been really lucky, tenner for one and £15 for the other, postage was a bit steep because the mount is heavy.

I fitted mine in two 1-inch mounts on a weaver rail. The scope isn't adjustable so I had to zero it using shims cut from a coke tin. I will try to get hold of some rings that are adjustable for windage and elevation, that should be good.

Does your one have port for an illuminator on it? One of mine does, and I've located a UTG 28 RED Light Source which slides onto it and lights up the reticule. Haven't got it yet but waiting impatiently...

No idea on the illuminator port, as I said, with mine the reticle is going to come out as I'll just be using it as a cheap magnifier

It's quite short, but the rubber light shield folds down. I wear glasses and need to fold it down, with contacts you be fine.

I got two of these of Egun.de ,it cost more to post them than I got them for ,they came in a snazzy flip top tin canister .I have one on my 10-22 on a weaver rail that I have shimmed with washers.It's spot on ,the graticule marking fit in well with .22 trajectory as well.

Good scope for nearly nothing :goodjob:

Cool! I didn't get canisters with mine. I wondered if it might be possible to use the reticule as a sort of mildot equivalent with the 22lr. How do you find the cross-hairs fit into the trajectory?

Added some pics: two Hensoldt scopes - one with light source fitted to my Marlin and one in its original military mount. The second one doesn't have provision for a light. The illuminated reticule is busy but OK. looking forward to trying it on the gallery rifle range. bangbang
