bangerstox10 3 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Got a .243 WSSM Winchester model 70 Stealth II with heavy barrel synthetic stock. It has wildcat predator 12 moderator and a Bushnell elite but now just changed for a Burris eliminator scope. Nice but a heavy gun all works well shoots great. If you sight up on your target its dead hardly ever miss never get a runner. Makes plenty of mess on foxes Quote Link to post

Duncan_642 0 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 thats a tidy some of money What is the reticule pattern(crosshair)? Quote Link to post
Gloop 5 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have VXIII and a Meopta Artimis. I think the Meopta is better and cheaper and is on my deer rifle. VXIII I use with NV cos of side parallax. Quote Link to post

The Meopta is shit hot,, a superb scope, and I bought it secondhand for 200 quid !!!! hawke money,, and believe me it performs,, you would have to spend a lot of cash to find much better . Bought mine new several years ago, and looked at many different makes before eventually deciding on the Meopta, as the image quality and build was equal to or better than any other within my budget. The reticule on mine is cross hairs but with thick posts at the outside, and thin cross in the centre with a dot which can be illuminated at different brightness levels. Quote Link to post

kenny14 656 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the advice so far guys! gonna have to continue the research! lol keep it coming! That's the best thing to do. Spend time now finding which rifle (and mod) feels best for you, and which scope you think will suit your type of shooting. If possible also try out some mates set ups. That way when you buy, it'll be only the once! Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 The mod is superb I used an Ase Utra before and loved that as well,, but got the wildcat brand new off ebay for 50 bucks so use that,, well pleased with it Quote Link to post
