Lynx 1.5-4.5x24 : Please tell me more about this rifle scope?

[Gert Odendaal]

Members, are there any hunter that has this rifle scope on his dangerous game hunting rifle?
How is the quality of the glass?
How fast can it find the target at close distances..???

I know absolutely nothing about these, but found this quickly in a search on AH. . .

"The Lynx scopes marketed in South Africa is, as I understand it, made by Sightron (I stand to be corrected). When I still lived in South Africa, I owned two of them at different times and they never gave me trouble. They are made to a certain price point, though, so don't expect German or Austrian quality at a third of the price of German or Austrian optics. If you talk to enough South African hunters and shooters, you are likely to hear various opinions on Lynx products, ranging from good to "Avoid at all cost!"

I have a 4x32 that was on my 30-06 when I bought it second hand. It has a big gash in the aluminium tube and still works well.. Image is remarkably good. Turrets are better than my Vortex Crossfire.Glass is bright and clear.i would say they are equivalent to lower range leupold and mid range Vortex.
