Scope Advice, Please?

To add. I'm getting on very well with a x6 fixed.

Isn't a 56 a little overkill unless its going onto a FAC rifle Andy?

My 50 is more than adequate and is crystal clear for lamping. Even for the FAC.

Just throwing my bit into the mix.

 

 

I know what you mean, Mick but with variable mag scopes I always tend to set them at around 8x and just leave them there. I also always use high mounts as I've quite a long neck so it suits my build fit wise.

 

It's a good all round spec for me, plenty enough mag and a big enough lense to cope in low light.

 

To be honest though, now I've stuck my good old 6x44 back on I can't really see the point of change just for it's own sake. I did like that SR6 ret on the Hawke though it's just a shame that the rest of it is utter junk.

Meopta atremis 7x50 then. Rangefinding reticule and amazing performance.

 

Pick them up for £200 in mint nick.

I prefer the Nikon Prostaff BDC reticule. The small dots on most scopes get lost in the background when it gets dimpsy - the Nikon see through circles stand out clear as a bell. The lenses are a good match for some MUCH more expensive scopes - mine are only 5 minutes behind a Schmidt & Bender and control flare and internal reflections brilliantly - i can still see to shoot with the sun in the corner of the lens - no whiteout or flare that masks the target or reticule. The 4-12 I haven't tried, because the 3-9 suits me as I shoot on 6x anyway. The 1" tube and 40mm objective provide better depth of field than a 30mm or 50mm objective too.
