AT308 Thanks, I did send a pm but no response so I have ordered an S&B PM11 12-50x56 2nd focal plane P4 fine ¼ MOA clockwise turret double turn elevation, single turn windage, item No: 878-911-975-91-66 - now just a 6 week wait. Cant wait to get up to Diggle with it (once I have done my barrel break in procedure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's not that it's 'more universally used' but the GB F Class target is marked out in half MOA rings - makes sense to use an MOA scope. As a matter of interest - what do you think a S&B will give you over a Sightron? And, why aren't you even talking about a March? If you come to the League Shoot next week it might just open your eyes. I did consider the March but they are more expensive than what I have paid for a new S&B 12-50x56. Once it arrives I will bring it up to Diggle for your assistance in setting it up: if that OK with you? I just need to learn (practice) long range shooting now!

What about reloading? Are you OK with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I will need assistance with reloading too - eventually I will purchase the reloading kit from Fox Firearms - rifle and scope first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to get up to Diggle with it (once I have done my barrel break in procedure) I have the same scope but with the sport dot ret on my AW. It's been on about 5 years now and I've only once wished it went lower in a tactical comp. Great for McQueens with a wide field of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Geek - it was the GBFCA League shoot at Diggle this weekend. The cream of UK F Class shooters - 72 of 'em - were in attendance plus a few from overseas as well. The first detail comprised the UK's top 18 FTR shooters. I thought I'd do a straw-poll on optics. Eight 8-32 Sightrons, seven March, two of the New Nighforce and one 12-50 S&B - don't ask me how he made weight! It's amazing how many folk have put their money down for a March whilst a similar number 'manage' with the Sightron. But, as the man said 'buy the best and cry once'. Yes, I do have a March, plus two Leupolds, two Nightforce and one Sightron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be up to watch the egg shoot tomorrow, had hoped my scope would be here by now so that I could take part but it's about another five week (max): hopefully sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
