Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50X60 review

[charlesasmith]

Has anyone compared this scope to other higher end scopes such as the Zeiss Conquest, Leupolds, NF, etc. What was your take on clarity, resolution, eye relief, color rendition, flare, and use at higher magnification? Is the side focus difficult to adjust without the large add on wheel?

Thanks, Chuck

It's all been done before, mostly on the AirGun Benchrest and AirGun FT Forums from EU and The UK. Best bet is to GOOGLE it like I did and read away, you may want to search it a couple of times with different wording, you'll get different hits. I had seen one at an F-Class Match, it was only on his rifle for the one outing. I gave up on them when I saw they out weigh a NightForce BR.

That Big Wheel does help FINE Tune, but why it's on the scope is to Range find 10-75yds or so for the Airgun FT, the bigger wheel gives you more more area for yardage hash marks.

I am interested in their 2009 Targetmaster 10-50x60. I don't
think it's any better than my Nightforce, but I like what I have
been reading about them and for $850, I would like to try one
for myself - when they become available in this country. I couldn't afford a scope for my 22 when I was a kid - so I enjoy
overcompensating now that I am old, divorced, and no longer have sneak things into the house and sell my blood to
pay for them. "BADLANDS"

BADLANDS,

The Nikko Stirling Scopes are available in the US, the Model names are slightly changed from what is for sale in AU/NZ I think...........
Try a GOOGLE search for them......

Here's one company that I've used before:

Target shooter publish one here is the link http://www.scribd.com/doc/14216873/Nikko-Stirling-Diamond

The clarity and resolution can't be compared to the ones you refer, it's quite good for rangefinding that’s why it’s used in field target but for example compared with a Bushnell Elite 4200 8-32x40 the image quality it’s poor.
