triple2 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just curious as to what scopes the best shots in the UK use, I know Nightforce, Sightron and March etc, But what would be the most common one ? And who would be the best long distance shot in the UK and what would he use. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrock Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 As the second best shot in the country behind Tony H I use a Kahels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Im more of an average shooter( i can hit a barn door ) , i use an NF nxs - but for me a Zeiss is ultimate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Myself and a lot of hunters and target shooters I know use NF NXS scopes, but everyone has different likes and dislikes Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Definitely not the best shot in the uk but I like S&B PMII, Zeiss Diavari and Kahles. Didn't get on with NF that well to be honest though it did track very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 With more national championships than all of you (probably put together) I have used Leupold, Schmidt, March, Nightforce, Vortex, Aimpoint and Trijicon. All have their merits and all have their drawbacks. This from the best shooter ever, and I'm from Belfast so wouldn't lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 i personally dont get on with the benchrest model nightforce but a lot of guys use them in f class or if your feeling flush how about a a nf competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who would be the best long distance shot in the UK and what would he use. Many thanks The best stalker in the UK is Donnald McDonald from Caithness (son of the legendary ghillie Donnie McDonald). He uses his skill to get within a range where any scope is quite adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think most pro stalkers will use NF, Schmidt, Leup, Swaro. Long range target (paper and biped) shooters will be using NF, March, Leup, Schmidt As to who is the "best", surely thats somethings that can't be quantified...

little jon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 depends on the distance , field or range ? bushnell /bsa/burris or be extravagant if your a daily shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrelsniffer Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I would be above Tont H but as i'm not in UK it wont count (services required elsewhere) i use NF NXS and Zeiss oh plus Leupold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stacka Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I use my MK1 eye ball, you should see me on the range. Both eyes closes I can cause havoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 A scope that is robust, holds it zero and as you get older is light. My favorite scope having reached my sixth decade is a Ziess 3x9x36, superb optics, light and perfect out to 200 yards. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
