Funny you should say that.......It just so happens that I have one for sale at the moment,so,PM me if you are interested,it is in the 'For sale' section..........Martin

I would choose a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 or the Swarovski 3-12x50, expensive, yes, but IMO the best you can buy I have a S&B 6x42 and it's just amazing, the light transmission and clarity, sharpness.... European glass is the way to go...

hi again! iv been out to zero the gun today iv got it bulls eye at 100 yards will it stay flat to 200 thats about max for the scope, hopefully get a better scope soon.

[SNAP SHOT 194]

you should be about 2 inches or so low at 200 depending on the rounds your shooting....

 

advice would be to set a board up at 200 and see whats happening... but your looking around the 2 to 2 1/2 inch mark, in the .243

 

depending on velocity, and bullet weight of course.

 

 

Good luck with it.

snap shot iv been hopeing you would come in to this topic for good advice, as i said i bought the gun saturday brand new! the gun dealer asked what i would be shooting! i said fox and roe fallow ect and he said to use 100 grain so thats what i did, remington express core-lokt. Do you agree? or would a lighter grain bullet be better do you think

[SNAP SHOT 194]

100g will be fine for the fallow, you can shoot foxy with them to if you dont wish to change the point of impact, however, i use either 58g max, or 87g v-max,

 

the later been used for the most part now, if your allowed to use below 100g for the deer, i'd also really say the 95g sst will take fallow with ease providing you do your bit....

 

 

i take a note of the adjustment made for poi write it down and just reverse the clicks to re-zero for the lighter round....

 

never any trouble, switching bullets then...

 

Any time you want drop me a line, only to glad to help.
