steve_b_wales Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sako - Nikko Sterling Silver Crown Anschutz - Hawke 3-9x40 RWS - Burris Weihrauch - Hawke 4-16x50 Air Arms - Nikko Sterling Mountmaster. This would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be my choice. Well, the Air Arms, RWS and Sako are all like that - it's only the other 2 that are the other way around. It means losing the IR on the HMR but it is a longer range rifle (not that the lack of AO seems to affect the .223). Was thinking of selling the Anschutz so may bolt the Mountmaster to it. Difficult to judge which is best, I'll set up a test target to peer at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sako - Nikko Sterling Silver Crown Anschutz - Hawke 3-9x40 RWS - Burris Weihrauch - Hawke 4-16x50 Air Arms - Nikko Sterling Mountmaster. This would be my choice. I think I'm a +1 with this match up. Likes of the HMR and the 4-16x50 is a no brainier really... You could possibly switch the Nikko Sterling on the Sako with the Burris on the RWS - but I'd still be happy with as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it a no-brainer because of the zoom, the bigger objective lens or the AO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it a no-brainer because of the zoom, the bigger objective lens or the AO? Yes the extra zoom/magnification for me. If your shooting rabbits 6x-9x is ample, but I do alot of crows too - and find on longer ranges being able to screw up the mag. makes a difference. I used to have a 3-9x40 on my HMR and got on great blasting rabbits, but iv moved upto a 6-24x50 and found it much better on crows... Although, you do have a .223 aswell - so it depends what you use your HMR for I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well, I've put the 4-16x50 on the HMR The Sako is now wearing the 3-9x40 IR and the Anschutz has my DIY night vision on it I've left the air rifle and .223 as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
