Experiences with spring driven Beaulieu R.16?

Post by ALAN »

Any observations welcome -- looking for something easy to carry -- as in light weight. I've heard the turrets are fragile.

Anything else to watch out for?

TIA

They're very challenging to load. It took me a lot of practice to get right, but I love my baby now that I know her secrets.

Thanks -- a positive note.

I see DUALL in NY advertise $350 for CLA. Have you had yours tuned up?

The one I'm considering has "the cloudy viewfinder."
