Hunting Set Up

[Zimpara 99]

Every time I go out lamping I set my scope on 3x power and AO at 25yards.

When I'm out hunting in the day light I set my scope on 9x and AO on 35yards.

I zero at 26metres and use a .22.

 

After a lot of testing the use of zoom I deduced that for me I'm more accurate with a high zoom, in that I can release shot closer to where I want it to hit, albeit suffering more scope wobble which I deal with.

 

3x power felt nicer, more confidence inspiring not seeing the wobble but not as precise.

 

What's your setup look like? Looking for something simple. Considering getting a decent fixedpower 4x scope.

On all my guns i shoot on 8 times ,this seems to work with my scope ,pellet and ft/lbs

5 for me, day and night. Got hawke optics so use the half mil dot approach.

6x for me.

[j j m 6,553]

8x for me on my scopes

8 for me to and parallax at 50 works for me

 

any thing from 30 out to 60 is Cristal clear

 

any thing under shows a blurred picture so i just move the parallax down till pic comes clear

 

and my poi dose not change

4x for me

[bilbobagins 92]

I tend to use the same setup as you high mag during the day and low mag for low light but my mate shot 4x40 for years and took plenty vermin doing so

[random 659]

6x and I never move it,would of been better off with fixed mag,and fixed parralax probably for how often I move that as well...

6x for me on the hw98 because that's as low as it will go it's a 6-24, you can see the man on the moon at 24 lol.

When i had my NCstars they were 10,40,50

 

you could read the small print that the man on the moon was reading lol

What optic is it? Just out of interest...

[The one 8,493]

Whatever it needs the further out I may go up to 9x

X 7 ZP (Daytime only)

 

Parallax 40

 

When i did shoot at night, with my "motor bike battery" in tow , i found the .177 trajectory much more "forgiving"( for me) when trying to judge distances.
