Thread: Scope for medium range shooting: recommendations please.

The scope is for my Reindyr gun,because you can only hunt them between 7am and 7pm low light ability is not a crucial requirement. illuminated recticle is really nice because you might be picking a animal off on the edge of a flock and their coat and background are a similar colour,pretty dark and not hard to loose the cross of a recticle in.

I dont have brilliant eyesight,because I wear glasses hunting I think it somehow takes the edge off optical brilliance in a scope.I found my S&B scopes not as bright as my Meopta,the PMII was built like a tank but I didnt feel the glass was anything really special. I personally cant tell the difference between a Swaro and a Meopta just by looking through it.Kahles is nice and bright with that awesome bright red dot in the aiming point if you want it.

I cover alot of ground when hunting Reindyr,once I think we did 200km cross country over 5 days ,then carried 80 odd kilo 20 km out again.I dont get heavily invested in the super light weight trend but at the same time its not worth carrying more weight than you need to.
