    Scope For Father In-laws First Rifle

    Gidday

    I grabbed Buzzman’s Tikka 308 the other day for my father in law, and now looking for a scope for it. He doesn’t want anything American, and no point him spending a heap on it considering he probably won’t use it very often in the next few years anyway and he’s only just learning to shoot.

    Was looking at the Vixen 3 - 12 or 4 - 16. Guess I could also ask him to stretch the budget to a second hand Swaro Z3 3-10 or 4-12. Could be a plus to have something he can dial to go a little longer (max 400) later on down the track.

    Any other options people would suggest? Max say round the $1000 mark, maybe a little more.

    Cheers

    The vixen will be enough to get him up and running.

    +2 on the Vixen. 3-12 or 4-16 will both do a great job with BDC reticle.

    His eyes are sweet and is wallet reasonably fat so maybe I push for a second hand Swaro.
