Thread: Scope Selection Advise

What about a 3-18 or a 4-24 VX6? Perfect all round combos from what I've heard. Heard good things about a Bushnell's Elite range too.

I've only ever used a high magnification scope once, and found the FOV when it was zoomed in to be a right pain in the arse. Alright for paper shooting but finding moving rabbits at long range in scrubby country it was not much fun. Everyone's different but it put me right off them, so 14x is my max on any of my rifles and it seems ample for my shooting.

Shooting hares over 500 with a 14x scope is quite possible, a friend has been doing it a fair bit lately. I think over 700 yards was his last one, he's aiming for a 1000 yard hare when we last talked about it. He uses a Mk4 4.5-14.
