yeah im pretty set on the rifle now tried a couple including a remi and the howa strikes me as a solid quality rifle and always been swayed towards the wildcat mod! so its just the scope to sort.

It's probably obvious, but one bit of advice before you choose a scope is to check its low light performance. The image clarity of some scopes can be brilliant in good daylight, but drops drastically once the light starts to fade.

Hope you get a good un .

I looked at a Howa and a Browning A Bolt but went with the A Bolt purely for the loading. Floorplate AND a box mag - best of both worlds.

 

It's topped off with a Schmidt and Bender 6x42 and a Wildcat Pred 8 Mod. I got lucky with the scope and got a great deal on it second hand but I have a Leupold FX-III on my LR and wouldn't hesitate to put that on the .243.

 

As said above the Meopta's are cracking scopes too, there's one on the BBS at the mo for £200

Howa 1500 / Predator 8 mod / and only had enough cash left for a Nikko Stirling Nighteater,which turned out not to be too bad for money,i know theres loads out there better but it will do me for now till i save for a new one,rifle accurate and silencer quiet, trigger came in at 5lb pull so had that sorted straight away,hope you get what you want.

I've just adjusted the trigger on mine too. I didn't really mind the pull as it was, but after adjusting it down, I find it better still.

I've got a Tikka T3 with a wildcat p8 moderator and centrepoint scope which came from steveff1353 on here and it is a lot heavier than some guns with its stainless steel barrel but is brilliant!
