Sure are a lot of interesting scopes on the market these days.


Have you looked at the D25V42M with an MTR-4 reticle? It has capped knobs and the hash spacing that you want.


The 42mm objective is a deal killer on any optic over 10X for me much less 25X, 2mm exit pupil (@20X) just ain't going to work under recoil on game no matter the glass.

That said the MTR-4 reticle is pretty good when combined with good illum and is available on the 52mm.

Now Deon just needs to cap or lock the windage and keep a proper elevation turret.

Thanks for pointing out the MTR-4.



Well, you can always contact Deon and ask them if they can have a capped windage knob and an exposed "tactical" elevation knob?

That said, the regular capped knobs are very nice.


It looks like anything with a capped turret is 10 MOA per rotation or the small objective and thats a deal killer for me on a hunting scope.

I can make custom turrets in yardage for about anything but really need 20 MOA per rotation to be practical.

The compact line (D25V52TI) with the illum MTR-4 reticle is really interesting if the windage turret would lock or could be capped. I would not care what the per rotation was or even what the click value was within reason.

That scope is 5ozs heavier than my current favorite Leupold VX6 3-18X50mm and in the long run I am sceptical it brings any real world advantage but........

I would love to check out the elevation turret setup for a custom slightly taller Drop Compensating Turret engraved in yardage and to see how Deon set up the zero stop.

I just checked retail price and was sort of suprised @ $2500, figured it would be more.

That's not cheap but I was expecting over $3500.
