Hey team. What are your thoughts on a half decent cheap scope for my goat/wallaby howa? It Currently has a vx1 on there which is great for point and shoot, but thinking something with the bullet drop reticule might be the go for when they are a bit further out? What do you use?Attachment 139616
The Burris Fullfield 2 is a pretty tried and trusted optic for a low price. Ive had one for years that has lived on different rifles for different uses and am always plesantly suprised with it.
Got a Burris AR 556 on mine. Duplex with marks for wind, and a turret for 55gr @ 3200. Poor mans CDS.
I run a vx3 4.5-14 B&C on mine, there’s a few turning up on here lately for good prices

Got a vx6 2-12 with boon and crocket on mine but dial it as more presice.
Going to do a review on the vixen tomorrow
Might be a good option
Cheap too
+1 for Burris Fullfield 2
I have a burris 3-9 mildot i will be selling if you wanted.
+1 for the burris . i run 5 of them on various rifles and love them to bits. i grab them when i see them at a reasonable price s/h .i had one that wouldn,t hold zero that i bought s/h .there no questions asked warrantee was awesome . they gave me a new one
if camflat doesn,t want it and its a reasonable price i could be interestedQuote:

Ive used 3x9 vxi for years for them....223 wears a vx11 3x9 now and it staying there...ideal for wallabies and perfect match for the .223
if wallaby not clear enough on 9x you are stretching the barrel.....
Na it’s not about the magnification, 9 is plenty. More about having a clearer and quicker reticule. Using the different drop lines instead of estimating holdover.Quote:

lol whats holdover??? point n shoot and wobbly dies.... can only recall doing the holdover thing a few times.usually the first shot tells me how much to allow,if the wobbly doesnt fall over first....most times I get close enough,250yards without any change to aim works good.
My .223 has got a NF SHV 3-10 with MOA reticle. One of the best things Ive ever bought. Bomb proof. Reticle fast to use for hold over if required. And dials accurately if need be,
Micky Duck I dial mine quite often because the heavy (69 grain +) sleek projectiles really do extend the range past what we used to think possible with the .223. Wallabies at 350-400-ish.
yeah I KNOW...... but Im not changing .....lol.
missed the “cheap” part hahaQuote:
