bullet boy Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Depends on your budget.I'm a Schmidt&Bender fan so always recommend these high quality optics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 its an interesting one, with your rifle choice you will probably want something with a bit of magnification I'd be looking for a 4-16 or possibly more to make the most of it. What sort of budget are you on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've got a couple of scopes going spare that might suit that nicely... Swarovski PV 6-24x50 (Plex ret, Target turrets) and Nikon Monarch 3 6-24x50 (Nikko plex ret, 3 set of turrets) what's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKill Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Can be a bit of a mind field really..... you have to ask yourself a few questions. is it for Target or Game or Both? How far are you going to be shooting at most of the time? (game to 300 yards? or targets to a bit further) and most of all what can you afford? if you get the chance its always best to view the sights for your self.

scooby -doo Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 well it will be for game and possible a bit of target as they are a new rifle range being built 5miles from my house ! as for budget maybe around 500 or that because i have to buy a mod for it yet 2!

Dekers Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 What do you want to do with it? ...and Howas oftem come packaged with Nikko Sterling. How big is your budget and frankly who cares anyway, there are 1000's of scopes out there and only you can decide what you want/need/can afford! ATB!!
