PH, many thanks exactly the info I was looking for. I have decided that I will keep an eye open for more early Hensoldt/Zeiss scopes, whilst I really like my Kahles scopes, compared to this Hensoldt, the Kahles seem a little less robust. The Hensoldt 1.5-6x36 is quite a heavy scope for its size but when fitted to the rifle, it balances very nicely.

regards
Mike.
