Cheers for that. I'll look into it. Also seen the 6-25x50 but that looks a little short to put camera unit on. Anyone?

I have the 3-16x42 which uses the same glass as the 4-20x50.
They are good value for money scopes, but the glass is definitely not as good as 2.5-17.5x56.
At last light and with a Ward 700 type add-on for NV work themore expensive model is noticeably better
I don't have an archer so can't comment on how the S-TAC would perform with it

Cheers

Mr. Phoenix, sir,
How did the 3-16x42 compare to your 6500, which I have in the 2.5-16x50 flavour?

I have a 6500 in 2.5-16x42 and I would say that the S-TAC has the edge for NV use in that I can get a clear image from it at a higher magnification than the 6500.
For daylight use I couldn't see any difference between the two.

Cheers
