Seriously, If the bunny thing lights my fire I will invest at a later date. Just after something that will do the job in the mean time

Keep an eye on TM etc for 6-20 or 8-25 scope VX III LR or similar.

I have several & dial them regularly with out issue.

But once cry once........

You need to future proof yourself & you need a good scope with plenty of mag to shoot bunnies way out there.......waiting for a flame.....

They are quite hard to discern at distance & can blend in very well, a quality dialable scope is very helpful for 500-1000 yard shots on rabbits.

What calibre/pills are you going to use ?

Excellent. It is dawning on me that I will need to "allow" more bucks for the scope thing. Greg, any advice you can share is greatfully accepted.

Occasionally great deals come up on ebay.usa when you list the scope choices from cheapest first to most expensive last.

I have purchased a number of Leupold scopes for less than a dinner up town with the wife.

If its not a CDS model then I get the scope sent straight to leupold to get a CDS turret put on it.

Cost to do the turret mod is between $150 and $230 depending where you send it from, then you have a very well priced dial up Leupold scope.

Hard to beat really, and practically speaking the Leupolds work well, especially at long range once you have carefully measured their dial up values and calibrated them to drop charts/ ballistic calculators.

As I said, I have several VXIII LRs & rate them highly, very good optics & they dial well.

If you want to shoot beyond 3-400 you will need to dial to get acceptable results.....bunnies are small...you need to have high mag to get good results, if you can't see it you can't hit it.
