Thread: Scope Import (best buys, suppliers etc)

I probably won't bother getting the windage one on my 6 haven't had the need as on a hunting rifle i won't shoot in much wind at all and i just hold a bit for it.

The odd time on gongs i just take the cap off.

Cheers VC. Will go into a few shops for a look before I order anything.
6 not too heavy??

Haven't noticed any extra or less weight but Im not the kind of guy that weighs everything. Couldn't tell you what any of my rifles weigh.

Ha ha im the same, splitting hairs really
Wont be worth the worry aye

6 on right 3 on left.

The clicks are more audible on The 3 the dial is far easyer to read on the 6.

20moa per turn on the 6 15moa per turn on the 3

Thoughts on the vxr guys? 2-7x33... Much heavier?
On my .308...

What would this be like, are Vortex all good?
Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44, Dead Hold BDC, Matte | Rifle Scopes | Discount Rifle Scopes, Binoculars and More - The Optic Zone

vortex get a good rep, i quite like the 4-16 power range, i have a burris XTR 4-16 and it is pretty nice, very reliable adjustments which is what i was after, i still reckon 4 is slightly on the high side for close stuff.

Heres my new toy, sightron s3 6-24, purchased from optic zone. havent actually used it yet but if your looking for solid audible clicks would be hard to go past this, lifetime warranty also

Shit this not going to be easy to decide

i have a 6-24x50 pst vortex Vortex Optics - Viper PST Riflescopes
i did lots of research b4 i purchased mine and i rate it .... dont have a night force so cant compare but i have heard other vortex owners say that they would buy them again
love the postive clicks it has a zero stop and is FFP
although the 6-24 is more than you asked for im sure the 4-16 is equally as good

Cheers GJ,

Im gonna put in the same yards before buying. I dont even know what FFP is ha ha

first focal plain

i think the HS T maybe what you are lookin g for

I'm not actually that old , but I remember when a hunting scope was a 4 power fixed scope , and long range sit and wait hunters had something like a 8 or 10 power scope ( those people were always treated with a bit of suspicion ) .
Then came the 3 - 9 vari power scope and everyone was happy because the Holy Grail had finally been found .
Slowly the required magnification has continued to creep upwards .
Technology is a wonderful thing , and I try to embrace it as much as possible , but I personally have no need for any magnification over about 12 power on a hunting rifle and truth be told that Holy Grail 3 - 9 would probably do everything I desire .
On my hunting rifles simple is best .
I understand as ranges get way out there , optics have to keep pace , but Gibo you mentioned 400 - 500 yrds as your limit , don't get conned into the bigger must be better , your original thoughts of 2 - 10 or 3 - 12 are correct in my uneducated opinion , and make for a much better all round scope .
I value quality of glass and simple robustness much higher than " Bells and whistles "



PS - I do own high magnification scopes but they reside on target rifles which is a totally different ball game , also where I am , mirage is a constant problem and magnification just amplifies it .
