Ran across this while surfing.
It's made by Zeiss's military division.
No birder should be without at least one.
As near as I can make out it costs about $6000 not including the custom mount that Zeiss will make to the contractors specs depending upon which weapon they use it on.
This is one serious rifle scope.
I must have one. Perhaps I could pick one up cheap used on Ebay?
Othwise special order only.

Wow! That's a large objective too, for a rifle scope. Figuring out what the wind is doing between you and the target is pretty tricky. At the longer ranges a little wind can make a big difference.
If you could get one without the reticle it would be better for birding. :-)

Yea.
I get a kick out of the rather sly remark in the Ad:
"also ideal for use under difficult light conditions"
Sure like taking out bin Laden as he steps out of his cave early in the morning with your Barrett M-82A1 50cal at 1500 meters.
As I say no home should be without one.
