Thread: Dial up scopes

The market has filled up with scopes with turrets from various brands. Ideally I want FFP, Mil/Mil with a Mil reticle, ideally has marks not dots.

Now I am not trusting of mid range scopes because I bought 2x Zeiss Conquest scopes right back when @Norway taught his course here. Both broke early, and I was away for six weeks at a time then. By the time I got them back from repairs it was probably a year without the rifle, counting gunsmithing and handloading, the hassles were endless.

I flogged them both off, and a couple of rifles and bought a PM2 and I really enjoyed not worrying about it, as well as the FFP turret/reticle combo and the fact the glass was so good I could shoot in the dark with it.

It sure was heavy though. I'm lost on all these new scopes. I don't know their reputations. So what should I look at? I see a lot of very nice looking scopes with low compact turrets. I'm thinking to buy in NZ given the current customs climate.

This scope will get dialed a lot. Not a 3 deer a year scope, I will use it (and dial it) constantly.
