Recommend me a 'scope

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

I am looking for suggestions for a 'scope, ideally it will be:

European built
Variable magnification around 4-12X
Low turrets idealy open type so they can be easily dialled in for longer distances
1/10th Mil klicks

Any recommendations?

European built will limit you to expensive scopes, you have mentioned getting a calibre for hunting, are you putting a hunting rig together?

My friend got a 6.5 Sako with Zeiss scope from http://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/cat ... ackages_2/ Sportsman Gun Centre.

Lovely scope, as you would expect, and the first time I put 3 rounds through the same hole - all be it on the zero range.

Perhaps not your first port of call but their combo packages do appear to give good value for money,
