Thread: Nikko Stirling Gold Crown

Greetings all,
This has been a most interesting thread. I asked a question about what people were using for short to medium range shooting a little while ago. The answers were interesting to say the least. Much lower power scopes than I expected were suggested by many. After reading through this thread I realised that much more economical scopes can be used by most of us. The phrase "fit for purpose" is a good one to keep in mind rather than absolute best. The scope needs to be fit for the purpose that we use it for.
Thinking this way I did a mental check of the scopes on my rifles. The only one that didn't seem to make the grade is a fixed 10 power on my bolt action .308. This rifle is used mostly for testing these days so it is probably adequate. If needs change then the scope may need to as well but I will cross that bridge when we come to it.
Regards Grandpamac.
