Pieter have you looked a the Lynx 6 x 38 or their LX2 8 x 56 IR ? They make some tough scopes, I'm sure they can handle the 338 Win Mag's recoil. And you would bypass any import problems.


I was not impressed by my lynx VX series. My 3-9x40 on my 30-06 lost zero and the adjustments to left and right were way off, 6 clicks to one side and then 13 to the opposite to get it back to the same spot. The eye relief on mine was also very little. I found that the 6x38 is not as bright and sharp as scopes costing less than it, as we did a comparison with two or three other scopes in the same price range and lower. I might have a look at the LX2. Do you know how the LX 2 compares to say the Leupold FX3/VX3/VX2?

To my my eyes they are brighter, and I know a quite a few people who say the same. The LX2 scopes are made by the same factory in Japan that makes the Nightforce scopes, I'm not saying to the same specs but you are getting the same quality control. They are in a differnt league from the old Professional series, Gary at Lynx also has technicians that are trained to repair scopes. With the lifetime garantee I would send your 3-9 x 40 to them and ask them to check for faults. I don't own a lynx but most of my freinds do, and I've never seen one loose zero.
