MEOPTA artemis 2000 7 X 50 Wide field of view absolutely astounding clarity thro the optics and a really fine X hair so it doesent obscure the subject. I cant for the life of me understand why any shooter would need anything bigger for a max shot of 225 yds. Most shots being between 50 Yds & 125 Yds ive seen air rifles with 10-25 X 56 optics on for a shot that you could take with open iron sights. Dont listen to the hype surrounding scopes, most have crap glass anyway. i agree with a large objective bell as this aids in poor light but a small Schmidt & Bender second h

I use 3" Mags ELEY Fourlong out to 30 Yds in open fields with no runners ? For hedge bottom work and on the railway bankings i use 2.5" 6 shot and i,ve got a box of 2" that i use ocasionally in the back garden for rabbits and the ocasional Pheasant.

As above in .22LR ? Cant seem to find one and really like the profile with short heavy barrell ! Target shooters stock ! If any one has one how much can i expect to pay and are they as good as they look ? Cheers !

Thanks for all the advice guys ! I think it's fairly safe to say I won't be shooting dogs as I am a dog man my self ! I have a border terrier ! I won't be creeping up on any one, I've done it a couple of times and the results are not pretty........ The farmer will not committ to this scare mongering either altho it really does get his back up that people hunt on his land with dogs ! Being an old fashioned honest law abiding type he can't accept any explanation for their behaviour. I was shooting hare at the land owners request, firstly because he wanted a couple for the pot, secondl

I don't think shooting a blokes dog is the answer, I'm not one for turning a blind eye either and then again I don't want to cause the land owner any problems either. I've known this guy for some time I went to school with his Son we both joined the Army together at 17 after spending every school holiday working on the farm harvesting, shooting trapping tidying up and generally keeping out of trouble. In the good old days ! I think shirts off and Oxford rules apply but I'm not sure a couple of 18 - 20 year olds would abide to the same rules. It's one thing having a punch up in a quiet

Ooooooooops ! Same here ! Sorry mate, i got all excited when i saw the £250. Humble pie ! Humble pie !

Thanks Flytie, I served in Afghan, 2001 afetr 9 11, 2005-06, again in 2006, & 2008, As a sniper 06 & 08. i,ve not seen that before but i thought .50 and not of the one shot one kill ethos. 3rd time lucky by the sounds of it. pretty impressive tho all the same.................... Bit of a trauma tho patrolling for days with a .50 Cal and Chubb !

I have FAc for both Rim & Centre Fire, i dont belong to any club and as stated already by others, if you have land and reason to shoot and are decent & honest not to say law abiding you will have no problem.

RicW, what sniper in Afghanistan ? a mile and a half taking out machine gunners ! Where has this come from ? What regiment was he from ! with a .50 maybe ? if he zeroed it the day before at that range ! Fixed are fine i use a meopta 7X50 on my .17HMR, On my .308 i use a Schmidt & Bender ! taken off a sniper rifle !

Hello again WOZ ! And again i agree ! why ask for a valuation and then state you want top money for it ? i too think you should put it on flea bay, Good Luck !

WOZ ! I was with .17HMR of the CZ Variety ! Nice Harriis Bipod meopta scope SAK Mod,

PHEW !! Thanks guys, its not just me then ? i thought i was being a bit old fashioned there ? The thing is when i "much the same of some of youn have done" i,m sure got caught somewhere you shouldnt be, firstly deny everything, then lie a bit and then when that doesent work eat massive pieces of humble pie while you got your catapult elastic cut up or your air rifle stamped on ! Hard lessons im affraid ! But i wouldnt have fought fire with fire ! Coppers it is the next time i see them ?

Drew, i might be interested in a second hand swarovski if the glass is good and it doesent fog up ? just to bang on a .22lr ?
