Nikko Stirling Panamax Precision 4-12x40 Scope

Stirling has a new riflescope that is specially designed and engineered for .22 Long rifle cartridges with different velocities as well as the welcome addition of the .17 HMR and .223 centrefire. To this end it comes with six (count 'em) ballistic turrets for elevation, each one calibrated for a different cartridge and trajectory. There's a turret for subsonic .22 LRs (40gn at 1085fps) topping out at 150yd; high velocity .22s (40gn at 1300fps) and extreme velocity .22's (33gn at 1500fps) ranging out to 200yd; the .22 WMR (40gn at 1910fps) extends the range to 250yd; the 17HMR (17gn at 2550fps) ranges out to 300yd; and the .223 Remington (55gn at 3240fps) to an optimistic 700yd. The elevation turret is graduated in ½ mil
