 I dont know anything about this brand. In my search, most come up here for sale, but not much discussion or thoughts on them.

Very clear class, nice reticle too ... poor ranging via SF if using in FT

Thanks, yeah I seen a few reviews stating parallax was off slightly. I am not FT, I did get a response to it being AG rated but I neglected to ask what kind of AG, as I'd like it for a gas ram for the moment.

For me......"poor ranging via SF if using in FT" doesn't refer to "parallax was off slightly" but to the fact that some scopes don't "snap in and out of focus quickly enough. This makes it difficult to determine the range to targets when "scope rangefinding" while shooting field target using range marks like this.........

LOL....definitely not the more basic optics I use for field target hunter class where the max allowed 16x setting.

With my .177 HW95 shooting 7.9 grain CPLs and a 30 yard zero , the pellets will drop about 1" from 40 yards to 50 yards and it does require some pretty good optics (and scope power) accurately rangefind a 50 yard target within a couple yards.

Right now, for a stoeger atac s2 in .22, but eyeing either the freedom/Aspen or Seneca dragonfly for future use on.
 I do mixed stuff, no competition, but I enjoy the challenge of absurdly long range playing around.like setting up targets on an island and trying to plink from another island.
Periodically, 50-100yd. small game. My eyes aren't so good now and that's why I find larger zooms nice, and the reason i kinda like that scope is i think i really like that reticle.

Sterling, the rings are 30mm, so it will work for the scope. Does your Stoeger have a Picatinny rail? If so, looks like it should work.

Yes it does but since I dont have actual scope in hand I couldn't measure height.  I think I have the correct height but not 100% positive if the "center high" rings are enough.
 Guess I'll know soon enough.
 Oh and , hello neighbor, just seen you're in Ormond. I'm in NSB beachside
