I came across this scope yesterday while looking for a cheap scope for foreign trips.Seemed quite good and cheap (<£100) .However I can't find any reference to it anywhere ! Not on Opticron site and I've no matches anywhere when I Google it,apart from the dealer where I saw it (Focalpoint)! Anyone shed any light on this ,please ?

Thanks for the info. I thought it was pretty good given the price and is worth considering for foreign trips if you don't want to risk taking top of the range optics with you.I've looked at scopes that are marketed as "travel scopes" and wasn't too impressed given they aren't that cheap!
