Hi Guys I would like to answer a question I have wondered about for a while, I have been shooting for many years the smallest magnification on my scopes for F class is 32x but most are 40x and 36x for my .22 rf bench rest I shoot all distances, my stalking rifles are not above 12x so they are slightly stronger than my binoculars. I find that most of the scopes on sale on this site are 18x and 25x why do you use such low powered scopes when a 8 to 40x will do for any thing, you can turn it down for haze, bigger field of view for Mc queens etc and up to max for long distance so why 18 and 25x.

Hi Jimmy read your PM but it said there was a problem and couldn't read it all replied. Replied to you hope you received it please contact me again to finalise the deal.

Do you still have the 6mm 103 gr hornady i will have them if you have.

These are great scopes, I've got two, 8 to 32 x 50 and a 10 to40x 50, lovely clear scopes. i think they were made by a top class Japanese maker like Hakko, I don't think Nightforce ever made them just badged them up and called them benchrest, I bought mine years ago secondhand for about £350.00 I think Nightforce want £1500.00 new.

Many yeas ago the two organisations you were enquiring about were the same one UKBR but there was some argument about the running of the UKBR so they formed a break away organisation.

i;m afraid they arn't spacers the stock is molded in one piece, I asked the guy who built it to make me a stock that was a Mc Millan front end with an AI ambidextrous back end because I am left handed and because I have long arms and were the trigger was i needed it long on the stock to be comfortable. To make it even more difficult the rifle is a 1972 BSA CFT with 3 action screws so picking up another stock is not an option.

Thanks for the prompt replies guys. i have to keep the mounts in the same position as I'm a big bloke and had my stock custom made so it fits me, so I need the eye relief, As far as 'I'm aware Burris dont do throw back mounts, the scope is still set on maximum elevation which is coincidently dead center at 900 yds so if I set it back to 200 yards my zero and see what there is left, as Vince said I may have used up to much adjustment to zero it. The last scope was an Optima a old Japanese scope of good quality that's all ways shot very well but I thought I update, when that scope was zeroed at 100 yards and it only had about three minutes left before it bottomed out so when I can get back on the range i will have to experiment. thanks again guys stay safe.

Hi Guys I opend this thread in September but didnt get aptoper answer after seeinf the photoes can any one give me an answer

We used to do s[m[lar in the UK in the 70;s 80.s and 90.s.

H i Vince its Tiny from Slawit, As I said before I cant make 1000yds, the problem I have is because of my size and the long stock i need the throw back mounts to get eye relief. please see the photos, I counted the clicks on the scope and from top to bottom and there was 424 1/8 inch clicks which i think is 53 minute

Hi guys. i have had a problem with my scope at long distance, for years I have shot the English XX match at Bisley and used a 6.5 x 55 Swede with a good Japanese scope called an Optima, I hade it and it has worked and adjusted well for about ten years, it gave good elevation to over 1000 yds with a 20moa rail. this year I thought I would up my game and put a Sightron lll on my rifle same rail same rings, thinking I had a much better scope went to 900 yds raised the elevation from 600 to 900 yds and the scope locked out at 900, luckily it was dead on at that distance And I got a good score, but there was nothing left for 1000 so I had to hold over to get them in the 5. The question is why wasn't there enough adjustment on what I thought was a long distant scope also how would you experts out there rectify this problem. Many Thanks.
