Hi carpediem4570 and a Happy New Year to you and your Family, may I suggest that you read the following as it really is the same question. I personally have and use the S&B 1.1-4x24 with the FD7 reticle. Although expensive it is the Rolls Royce in my opinion and good luck with the Africa dream, I am in my sixties with bad health but I still have the same dream that I had when I was a teenager and I am hell bent on hunting Africa before I go to the hunting grounds in the sky or is that a "Sanctuary" now?? just joking...

Cheers,

Jeff Gray
