shootgun Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm getting a rimfire for vermin and the odd fox, and not yet decided which scope to put on it, but i would like a FFP scope in about 400-500 quid price range. I had a look around i the ones that fit the bills are Vortex Diamondback FFP, Hawke Sidewinder FFP and Falcon Optics, but haven't got any experience with any of those. Any recommendation? Thanks!

JRDS Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 For a Rimmy save your money and get one of the Hawkes dedicated to the different Rimfire calibres, its all you need. I have a 3-9 on my 22lr and it works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im guessing .22 lr with subs ? But could be .17 hmr also ? So if .22 .you zero at 50 yds .and the first dot down (irrespective of magnification )is say 72 yds and the next 85 and then 98 then 112 and 126 .or something like this. Hummm .not easy to remember and far from ideal .and no altering of the mag with change that . Why ? Edited March 3, 2019 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Think id prefer to have my ret workout something like below Zero at 50 yds first dot down is 60 Then 70 , 80 , 90 , 100 , 110 ,120 And the mag is someting suitable for shots from say 30 - 120 yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't have to remember anything, just created a scope cap label with the bullet drop using the StrelockPro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 If a rabbit presents closer than say 30 yds just wind the mag down to anything you want and aim bang on the front of the body and shoot . Easy Is the ret on the scope your looking at the same as strelock predicts ?? 336 yds is a long way for a .22 wmr . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
