Not too many good reviews about this scope on the British/ European forums when I last looked, issues with temp changes and holding zero, very disappointing for something from S&B, they may have improved but IMHO the Sightron 10-50 FT scope would be better value for your money.
Edit; Found it, if you can get it in Oz,http://info.sightron.com/Riflescopes/SIII%20SERIES%20AIRGUN/SIIISS1050x60FTIRMOA-H/

No worries, mate, the Sightrons have excellent optics and reliable tracking if you want to use the turrets, I have the SIII 10-50x60 LRMOA with the MOA-2 reticule on my FX400, it will focus back to 8-9 metres on 10x and is very easy to rangefind on the higher mags, only complaint I probably should have got the illuminated reticule but I can live without it, see how we go at this weekends FT.

Cool. I have an FX 400 too. Where'd you get your scope from? Not many gunshops in Radelaide.

I just took a look at the S&B website. The description says they have redesigned and I quote,
"The distance scale is absolutely temperature-stable: measurement deviations at a distance are less than 2%."
Now, if I only had that kind of cash to spend . . .

FYI, I contacted IOR Valdada about if they had a Air FT scope in the works.
Their response was to check out their 9-36x44 Spyder. It does focus down to 25 feet.

The scope line which impresses me the most would be night force. I have yet to own one ,but I am fortunate enough to have friends that have more money than me and own them for their powder burners. I have shot s&b, us optics, night force, and sig scopes. Of all the above, I was mostly impressed by the NF. I have mounted a Luepold on a bsa r10 mk2. Did not like it for the lack of close focus. For me I had to shop for quality and that 10Yd par... Still shopping.....

I live in the hometown of Nightforce in Australia and am devastated that they dont offer a variable power, close focus scope. Perhaps i should campaign on behalf of Airgun Nation!
6-24x50, FFP, 10 yard focus side parallax, illuminated reticle, 1/4 MOA. Anything else??
