pavman Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Mosa what are you putting it on? If its a centrefire the S&B 8X56 works very well and they come up on here for around £350- second hand if you can run to that its better than a new cheap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to point & shoot I dont have to faff with mine 5X25 set it up to 12 X and focus at 175 i can point and pull from 100 to about 250 which is a long way at night under a lamp, you just set up your own fixed as it suits you..... I have found one of the biggest problems is the ret... to thick and you cant see a taget at distance to thin you cant see the cross hairs in a hurry its never easy!

Colster Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 What's your budget, might be worth looking at Macleods or Emma's Custom Rifles as they do some higher end used optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as bad as many may suggest! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
