It's the ultimate test of thermal and daynight riflescopes. We've brought together the experts, and we've got £38,500 worth of the latest hightech kit to put through its paces, with scopes ranging from £700 to £4,500. Will the most expensive scopes come out on top? Can the budget models hold their own? There's only one way to find out.

Tim Pilbeam, retired gamekeeper Roy Foster, gunshop owner Mike West and '260Rips' Mark Ripley put the scopes through a thorough test, and give their expert opinion on each.
