[Marctitty 92]

Hi guys I'm looking for a scorp to put on my 223 for lamping but don't want to break the bank £350 tops. Been looking at the nikon prostaff 3x9x50 bdc and the mtc viper 6x24x56 what's your opinions cheers lads

The new Leupold firecross takes some beating 3-9 x50 , I have 2 one on a 7mm stalking outfit & other on a 223 a bolt foxer & clarity is superb under half moon, half light....no lamp needed .

I have one surplus , new boxed with flips for £350 If interested message me.

 

RRP £390 scope / £155 flips

I've got the MTc viper 4-16x50. Quality scope for the money..use it on the 223 and swap it with the drone.. Used it dialling in consistently on bunnies out to 500 m .. Not far behind my German glass

Had great results with my hawke 8-32x50 out to 600m and lamping out past 200 yards on rabbits

The Nikons are quite good but i would also look for a s/h meopta for that money. One thing i would do is stay well clear of any mtc, i had one once for a week, without doubt the worst scope i have ever had the misfortune to own.

I had a mtc on my hmr it seemed to white out pretty easy don't think I will have another to be honest

Meopta 7x50 - the glass is worth twice the cost

You won't go wrong with that.

The majority tend to shoot shorter distances when lamping than in daylight.

 

Frankly, you don't need all that much of a scope if you have a decent lamp.

 

Those you mention are fine, but I'm a little surprised at the difference in mag you are thinking about, 3-9 is a world different to 6-24, what sort of distances do you anticipate shooting?

 

There is a wide choice of more than capable scopes for lamping if you have £350 to spend.

 

I would have thought the meopta meopro 4x12x50 would be fair enough.

I'll be honest MTC scopes are cheap and ok with night vision but at low light and when lamping there rubbish compared to German glass not in the same league.
