At 30 EUR/100 g, it's cheap and doesn't add much weight, and I love the functionality <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />(The "hand over" position is also great for use in hides, when the parallax of the sight in the normal position is too big to reliably avoid pointing the scope at the wall instead through the viewport.)Regards,Henning</blockquote>
