    yip - i understand what ya sayin but most comments have missed my post regarding my Zeiss Terra 3-9x42 scope i have with me.

    so il skimp on the rifle as ive got Ads here for 2nd handys and looked on trade me but cant contact anyone, all the local gun shops has SFA in terms of 2nd handers for reasonable prices, some cases better off payin $200 more for a brand new of the same model etc. no doubt got traded in for dirt cheap

    Oh yes I missed that too

    Good rings are worth it too - I actually use 1 scope between 2 rifles and just swap them - re-dial and good to go

    What cal are you after - a mate generally has stuff for sale - often European rifles

    yeah interesting with the scope on scope off job, but not a bad idea !

    Yeah do it all the time - scope lives off the rifle as well
    My clients do the same you just need true rails and proper QD rings

    It’s a good way of getting more use out of one rifle or scope
