The Mrs let me splash out on a new sight and scope just after xmas, I treated myself to a Sureloc Supreme and Beiter 39mm scope.

I chose the 1.00 diopter as previously I'd used a Petron scope that came with 0.5 0.75 and 1.00 Tried all three found I had good results with the 0.5, didn't see so much wobble but couldn't get so many tens, the 0.75 didn't work for me at all and the extra mag that the 1.00 gave me was perfect as I could get the scope body wrapped concentricly around the red.

The Beiter with a nice thin frame ring, the smallest pin and the largest ring gives me a perfect arrangement. Plenty of light gathering, a nice small dot that doesn't get in my way and the ring fits perfectly just inside the gold on a 60cm at 20yds. All i do is get that lined up and squeeze the release.

Found a really good guide to diopters and magnification on the sureloc website. It explains the relationship between diopter, distance from eye and magnification. Makes me feel really clever when people just quote magnification without really understanding it!
