Weatherby Imperial Scope

Does anyone have any experience with the Weatherby Imperial Scope, made in Germany? I am wondering about a 2 3/4 fixed power with a German reticle. There are several different German reticles, the main theme is a post, flat or pointed with a cross wire. The crosshair reticles moved the individual wires rather than the entire reticle, made for a fairly distracting view.

I had one, it made a nice outfit on a Weatherby Mk XXII automatic.
I think you can get better optical gear now if you don't insist on the Weatherby trademark.

Thanks Jim, I was thinking of putting it on a MKV. But the more I look at it the less it is appealing. The reticle is not my first choice, but I was thinking of all Weatherby. I am leaning to a Leupold now.
Thank you
Paul
