  4. What scope for lamping foxes

    in Help & Advice

    Posted

    its depends on the range and your ablity , i have used scope from 100 to 1000+ . when lamping you need to be able to locate the target and have a clear view . using cheap scope with vairable zoom they are normally not good at night, i have bought a bushnell banner 6-18x56 and i found it a pain to use when foxing due to the amount of variables it gives you when in low light . you dont need massive zoom when foxing , i use and swear by swarovski 8x56 and have bought 2 ,i have hit foxes at 300 yards using a 8x56 scope .if you respect your shooting dont mess about with the cheap scopes it will not be a great investment . you can pick up second hand 8x56 s+b for less than 400 quid . and still hit them at 300 yards .

    I bought mine last monday, Got it second hand for 200 quid. Stripped it down when I got home and was pleased to find it had seen little use :) Its good that you can adjust them to your fit by using the supplied shims. I took it out today clay bashing and was pleased with the way it handled, I did have 2 jams but I'm fairly sure this was down to the carts I was using as when I stripped it apart to clean it I was shocked at how dirty it was. This was confirmed by a phonecall to a mate who was also using the same carts and said he has never seen his u/o so filthy :o

    glad your happy with it . :good:

    yea your correct in what you say wymberley things can go wrong , it happends in every trade , but its nice to know who uses who and why ? and why they dont use them . its not like we are playing with toys, but after emailing most of the gunsmiths i could trace, only 2 emailed me back one asking me to call on wednesday next week as they said they were very busy at the mo and could not take my details until then . ( staff problems they said ) :o , and the other sent me an email within 3 hours of sending it and then a phone call the next day , i know who i am going to use , someone who cares about the costomer and takes time to understand your requests , either way my rifle is booked in now i have made the best choice in my mind :good: thank you for all your help everyone .
