Marctitty 92 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’m looking for a scope for deer stalking and sitting in a high seet. Will also be used for Fox shooting at night. Must be a variable and got around a grand to spend. Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,713 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’ve got a vortex viper HS-T 6 - 24 x50 on my .243 it’s around £600 and it’s a lot more scope than the price tag, very good in low light and it comes with a life time warranty Quote Link to post
Marctitty 92 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 That’s worth a look at mate what size tube are on them? Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,713 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 30mm tube Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Plenty of choice up to £1000, but if you are not pushing silly distances some of the Hawke at less than half that price work fine. Bushnell and Leupold worth a look. Simple fact is there are too many, people will have their favourites (usually what they have) but that may not be YOUR favourite. I would start by thinking about reticle, Objective and tube size, side focus or front, magnification range and then input all those figures and see what comes out in your price range!
