Not a 3-9x42 T Diavari, but a 30 mm 1.5-6x42 T that was a superb woods hunting scope. I sold that one to a buddy and bought the 1.5-6x42 V 30 mm Diavari because they took the lead out of the glass and made it lighter. Actually the T had a little smoother power adjustment ring and both scopes are first plane reticle scopes that take a little getting use to in the higher power settings. I would prefer 1/4" click adjustments, but those Diavari scopes have one centimetre adjustments at 100 meters. I'm a set it and forget it sighting in guy, so the adjustments were a moot point once I got it sighted in.
I bought a used Diavari V 1.5-6x42 T* and it’s the best hunting scope I’ve come across. I liked it so much I bought the Victory HT 1.5-6x42 for another rifle, which at that time was the current Zeiss line. Both with the #8 reticle. The Victory HT didn’t compare to the Diavari V...it maybe in my head, but the image seems much sharper and clear with the Diavari V.
I ended up selling the Victory HT and replacing it with an S&B Zenith 1.5-6x42. The Diavari V is still a better image. I’d love to get my hands on a 3-9x42.
