legion Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 After reading this site for two years, speaking to Baldie and other members i have finally spent some brass. I have bought the remmy vsf for sale on guntrader to start my varminting/foxing/roe project rifle. Left hand .22/250 remmy vsf, jewel trigger,badger bolt, t8 mod, warne rings and bases. mint condition- £800. The plan is get a feel for the rifle, shoot the barrel out then send the rifle to Baldie for a calibre change and the action trued and bedded. Now to decide on a suitable scope, whats your recommendations, must be light weight, side focus, plenty of magnification, a keeper. What brands of factory ammo do remmys favour to save wasting money till i can get up and running with home loads. Thanks for your advice in the past- will post pics soon.

eldon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 You need to specify a price/budget for people to best assist on the scope. Regarding ammunition buy a box of each available easily and see which your rifle prefers as they are like women and all different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 All purpose rifle - need and all purpose scope. Leupold good value and do all you want 4-14 Mk4 is nice as is 6.5-20 and 8-25. Nightforce again nice more expensive than Leup. Optical excelence - go for Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, Zeiss - but they are top dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Swarovski only do one scope with side parallax and that's the Z6 I think, and that's mega bucks, you may as well buy a S&B PM II . I had a chat with the guy on the Swarovski stand at the CLA and Swarovski are hoping to bring out a tactical based scope in 09. I would think that the Zeiss Conquest would be worth looking at, are they available in the UK yet? or the Bushnell Elite range, or as Ronin has said the Leupold or Nightforce, the Nightforce is neither cheap or light!

baldie Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Border barrels have just started importing IOR scopes...check out their website. I have an IOR, and its a fabulous scope. It is the optical equivalent of the s+b pm11 i have.....no that which promotes growth and vigour. It is half the price of the schmidt, and with all the features. Yep, big and heavy...but so are all "proper" long range sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 By tactical do you mean it has target turrets as opposed to hunting having flatter caps with no numbers showing? What prices do the 4-14x50 come at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Guys i have a zeiss conquest 4-14x44 on my 10/22, i will use that for the time being, what about the rifle, any comments. The stock feels a little short, tips on adding a deeper recoil pad, the rifle needs some extra weight in the butt, any advice. Which model harris bipod do you recommend. Which starter homeloading press do you advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
