SHOT Show - Hensoldt 3.5-26x56 Scope

The new Hensoldt 3.5-26x56 scope was on display at SHOT Show 2012. The Hensoldt 3.5-26x56 is an incredible sight capable of precision you come to expect from Carl Zeiss Optics. I had the chance to shoot this new Hensoldt scope on the Accuracy International .338 Lapua, the AX338.

1:19 is that arisoft?

[Sturmgewehre]

@RCM1829 It's a display rifle. Every firearm in SHOT Show must be deactivated meaning the firing pin or firing mechanism must be removed. Vendors displaying firearms accessories often times attach them to display guns that are inert so they don't have jump through the hoops of having their rifles inspected for safety.

Love at first sight! Did the field of view getting really small above 14X setting? Seems to me like it would have to to be able to operate at such power extremes...

[Sturmgewehre]

@YourMilageMayVary The FoV does narrow, but you would only use it at extreme ranges so it all evens out. The glass was amazingly clear and seeing the fine details of the steel target I was shooting at on the 1000 yard line was easy. This is the best scope I've ever handled, and it's still a prototype.

You shot it at 1000m?

[Sturmgewehre]

@762gunr Yup.

@freestylmx311 So? A honda civic will get me from point A to point B just fine. Are the bugatti veyrons therefore worthless? Anyone can recognize that there is a point of diminishing returns, but if you want the fastest/most technically advanced of ANYTHING, you are going to pay a significant premium. This is true pretty much regardless of which industry you look at. And you are kidding yourself if you think any 200$ scope is every bit as good as this hensoldt will probably be.

[Shooter9x19]

wow, what a nice scope...and awesome rifle as well, i can see why the longest confirmed kill was achieved using an accuracy international.

[RCM1829]

@Sturmgewehre Ooooh that makes since

[rupert93r]

Is it available with a Horus reticle?

But your gun and scope are only as good as you

[MrByronodmon]

@TheeBedazzler I'll check it out online right now sounds good I love my Leupolds I have a vx-I and even it is pretty awesome!

[TheeBedazzler]

@MrByronodmon Try the Leupold CDS. It has decent magnification for shots out to 200-300 yards, comes with two free custom bullet drop compensation dials, and costs like $400-500. It would be a perfect scope for an AR or any hunting rifle for that matter.

[MrByronodmon]

@TheeBedazzler I totally agree with the saying "your gun is only as good as your scope" but I personally don't have $5000 to spend the most expensive scope I have is $400! I wish I could afford more and maybe one day i'll get some balls and buy a $1000 scope! It's gotta last a lifetime or until I make more money lol!
