Thread: Scope Import (best buys, suppliers etc)

Before you hand over any cash think long and hard about what the bulk of your hunting is/will be.
4x is usable in the bush but 3x and 2x is so so much better.

If the bulk of your hunting is bush i would be looking for less than 4x if the bulk of your hunting is open country you will get away with 4x in the bush but not ideal.

Just my humble opinion having been up and back down the mag range.

Rogee, they are over the Tasman so if they are at 30,000 ft and they are travelling at 800.......sorry I will do that when they get here.

Sorry found what I need....30mm for the XL's 32mm for L's stc etc

I recent brought a new Burris C4 from calbelas online. Had it delivered to a mate in the US there picked it up when there for work. Brought that one over the CDS as the leupold VX3 offers no solution for wind age and the Burris can be dialed and has hash marks each MOA out to 10 MOA.

I have a feeling they were low , not extra low . They definitely aren't med or higher .

Choice, that should be nearly bang on with a 44mm objective
