Colster Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 All cracking scopes, you might want to add a Meopta Artemis or Leupold FX-III to your list depending on your budget. I have a FX-III on my LR and it's a real keeper (having been through about 10 scopes on there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've just put a new S&B 8x56 on my 223 for foxing it's fantastic...a really nice bit of kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedark Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 S & B 8x56 #4 is the best foxing scope on the market IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
