Sad that the UK has to pay such premiums, the same 'scope is GBP2500 in the USA, however that is the USA and by the time the export licence is sorted out, shipping, VAT, vendor mark up......

An American magazine benefitting from American firms' advertising and sponsorship nominate an American scope as 'Optik of the Year.' Now there's a surprise - not!

It's like when they declare their baseball season, the World Series. Always beings a chuckle.

I've never "used" one, but have seen one in the flesh and handled/looked through/coveted....

On the face of it, it is one outstanding scope. No doubt priced for "government" budgets.
