Looking for a new scope. Main uses bunny busting at up to / past 400m and general range use.
What type to get, the choice seems endless!!

Fine duplex...
Are you going to be dialling, or do you want to use holdover ?
Wheres the opening a can of worms smiley?:D
Dialing, been looking at 6-24, 5.5 - 22 or 8-32 fine crosshair with 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch dot but can't find one to look thru before committingQuote:

Yeah but the issue is the Nightforce and Sightron scopes I am looking at are a lot of wedge and an expensive whoopsie if I get it wrong. I ain't made of money despite what some think :0Quote:

There is no cheap path to precision Long Range shooting.
And let's face it, often your experience of a rifle is determined by the view you have through its scope, you could have an average Hubertus on a Sako and hate using it, and a superb Kahles on a Stirling and have a pleasant afternoon.
Skimping on a scope only ensures a mediocre experience every time you pick it up.
ooooooohhhhhhhh sacralidge.....if thats how you spell it!! loupy or bust mate!!!!!.........any one worth his salt will testify that bad galss is a bad choice full stop aye bro!.Quote:

If it was me I'd get another 4.5x14Lr leupy with the fine cross hair and get one with the turrets or put the Low profile M1's on it.
A cheaper alternative though heavier would be to import one of the Weaver superslams, x15 with the duplex or the bigger one if your keen on the dot.
Not being smart here but if your shooting to 400 or even a couple of hundred more you'll never need 20x to get there.
Thanks guys, Finally brought a NXS 5.5-22 x 56 with NP-R1 reticule. Not the cheapest but I always wanted one
Hell of a scope for shooting 400 yard rabbits.:)
Enjoy.
If you saw what it is currently fitted to you would really laugh even moreQuote:

The vx3 also seems to have very good glass for the price and dials reliably as well.
apparently they are the same internals as the mk4
Not really I just like nice quality stuff and am prepared save and to wait till I can buy it. I work hard so why not.Quote:

I reckon it's gotta be worth a photo Mikee, come on, it'll look great.
ok ok, no laughing though, Shoulda taken the sunshade off the scope, would have looked more "balanced"

I have a Pm 11 mounted on a Finnlight, it looks a bit imbalanced to say the least, however the combo works fine
It does look a bit odd but hey it will do the job:thumbup:

how big is the tube diameter on that? plain jayne 30mm or is it something PITA like 34mm?
seriously wanting to step into that class of scope.
I just wish I had rich mates that had one so I could see them in action
30mmQuote:
