Thread: 400+ Bunny Scope

Its got more to do with "how" you do it than what gear you have

Yep fair enough.... but more mag makes it easier other wise we would still be using fixed 4 powers........

The day Gavin said "Fucken Cock Smokers"
I remember it well, he had told me that he had brought in a 4x14x40 VX3 CDS for a mate and that it would accompany my 22.243 that i had just purchased of him well and it was only $800+ delivered.
So i have a look at Optic zone and after a cock up with another scope i bite the bullet and order one, i wait for a week and it arrives, nice, sleek, crisp and a good price!
After another week i check the credit card for a final total for the scope, yippy $530.00 delivered all up!!.
And that was the day that Gavin said "Fucken Cock Smokers"

If you get lucky like me it is well worth the money for a VX3 CDS but you have to get Lucky. "Do you feel lucky punk, well do ya"

Good luck with what ever ya get mate.

Gday Gav

G'Day Fella's,

This has already been mentioned and I also reckon you need At Least 20x if not 25x or more, for longer range (400+meters) sniping of bunnies.
My current long ranger has an older 6.5-20 Leupold BR on it and once you get out past 500m, even the 1/8" dot reticule covers up a lot of the target!
Keep an eye out for a fixed 24x scope, but you may have problems with the fixed power and mirage in the hot weather.

Hope that helps

Doh!
