527vamint Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 After a better and higher mag scope for the 308 as in higher than 20x may be upto 55x.new or used. I have in mind nightforce, sightron, vortex or another leupold as I have them on my other rifles,also don't know much about the modles. I'm currently doing 100m- 300m but doing my best to sort it out for some longer range stuff as in 600m and may be 800-1000m. Any advice would be great.

The Gun Pimp Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sub £1000 with 1000 yard capability? Got to be the Sightron 8-32 with LRMOA ret. About £850. Aimfield Sports are the UK importers and John offers great after-sales service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orka Akinse Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 What am I missing? I've heard very little about Sightron whats their tracking like? Are they target specific scopes or are there low light capabilities on par with say Leupolds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
527vamint Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have had a quick look at aimfields website,they seem to be ideal. I'm going to Stoneleigh shooting show if not working,in the hope to have a look through some scopes. I needed be seeing 308 holes in the black at 300m atleast. We have bad pointers. Would I not benefit from a bit more mag or would I be loosing sharpness and clarity in my price bracket. I was thing of getting a second hand nightforce competition x 55 mag if I could find one. Cheers again Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 527varmint - Yes, John Dean of Aimfield Sports (UK Sightron importer) will be at the Shooting Show. You will have no problem seeing 308 holes at 300 yds with an 8-32 Sightron - I can just about make out 6mm holes on a white target at 600 yards with mine.

527vamint Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 OK guys thanks for all the input,i am going to the shooting show now with the intention of buying a sightron 111 8-32-56 lrmoa scope. I have a 20 moa rail fitted to the howa,so should have plenty to go at. What mounts do you recommend,I would prefer bottom and top halves not the Warne or nikko vertical split ones,don't forget I'm tight and very careful with my money.

swagger700 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Another one for sightron, excellent value for money and John is good to deal with. You might even get better deal at the show I'm sure they had show prices last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I partnered John (Aim Field) Dean in an 800 yard F-Class match at Diggle on Sunday in the first morning relay. We use 'negative' form targets in the discipline there - that is black scoring rings on white paper. John 'called' around three-quarters of my shots for score and position before the target was pulled. Conditions were overcast but clear - not bad to be able to see 7mm dia. bullet holes at 800 yards even if it's on white paper! Sightron S3 of course - I didn't ask if it was the 32 or 50X model and what mag setting he was using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 32 x what John has on is rifle Laurie but I think it is a March scope No just joking Laurie john would kill me for that but what the hell lets live on the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
