    Scope for P14 .303

    Hi Guys, I am thinking of using my P14 303 to get my first deer. I have purchased a scope mounting kit from Brownells which offers weaver mount in between the bunny ears. I was hoping someone would be able to recommend some scopes for me to look at. I want to be able to shoot up to 600m in my service rifle shooting so the scope would need to be able to have decent magnification I guess. My budget is no more that $1k. The rifle is fully wooded also. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers Brad

    A good no3 will do 1 3/4MOA at best, a T3 3/4moa and be better at hunting IMHO.

    I would suggest going and buying a gun and scope package.

    eg., .300 win mag Tikka T3 | Trade Me

    PS For Wellington Service rifle its original irons only BTW.

    the trouble is you aren't going to have a stable base to mount a large scope.I had a similar setup on mine but I had a small weaver k4 and I don't reckon it would withstand hacking through the bush.Few P14s were converted to snipers but they had a base bolted on to the left of the action so you could still use stripper clips.

    Yeah it would be. I guess the only easy way would be to have a Go Pro on a mount or something similar. Bloody good shot though. I am fairly accurate with my iron sights but want a good scope on it to have a go long range. I think it is a very capable gun but want to test that!
