From a reborn hunter Looking at spending up to £1250 ish. Is it better to buy new do you think? Did get warned about the barrel in 2nd hand but also got told you could get more for your money if you bought 2nd hand. Stuck in 2 minds a bit. Would like to buy new. At least i know what i'm buying then. Any idea for good lamp that can be both handheld or scope mounted? Quote Link to post

From a reborn hunter Go for a cz brno, they are a good all round rifle cheap to buy and very good if looked after the FORD of rifles , you look after it and it will look after you..... the manufacture date year is stamped on the barrel ie: 99 03 09 etc. good indication on usage not many owners of these rifles know this is stamped on there gun, S&Bender 6x42 scope is best by far as Fox scope. hope this helps GOOD LUCK Quote Link to post

quicksilver 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 i would buy a new rifle and good second hand scope, look at s&b, swarovski leupold or the usual suspects. i have a couple of lamps and the best one i use for fox is the lightforce 170 scope mounted, it is very light and the beam is great for foxing. keith Quote Link to post
