ionic Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm planning to try some longer range varmit shooting with my Sauer 223, primarily on crows out to about 500yrds, and need some advice on scopes. Having had a quick look, the Nightforce NXS 3.5 - 15 x 50 looks good, but what are the other options if I'm going to dial in the ranges and wind? Also, reticules, I prefer simple fine ones, agiain your views would be appreciated. Thanks. ionic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsteve Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I just bought one and like it. Np1 great reticle. Have also a mildot 5.5x22x56. Love the extra mag but prefer the less busy npr1. Good light gathering not up to my Schmidt but comes into its own after dark. Don't know if there is anything to match it for the dosh.

ejg223 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Was very impressed with sightron scopes, John from Aim Field Sports had a few along at the Creedon Cup in Ireland. We could check them out at up to around 800yds. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onelesscharlie Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hello Colin. Thanks, I have seen them advertised, but know nothing about them so will check them out. dave I have one that i dont use but it doesnt have enough magnification for that range, especially on a corvid sized target. You are more than welcome to have a nose regarding build quality, optics etc if you want. Oh and are you going to the hound show in Builth on Thursday?

Proof of pudding when i go home this time. going to mount it on the o6 on a Picatinny rail with Burris Signature Zee rings. Look out for a PM regarding another subject Cheers Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
