markymark Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hawke have apparently come a long way recently if you wanted to buy new. If it were my money I would look to buy a used Delta Titanium HD / Bushnell Elite or sightron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've been doing the same and I've made my mind up on a 3 -9 x 40 leupold vx freedom rimfire scope and 1 moa recticle. Great glass,great reticle and a 60yds set parallax with capped turrets... Use hunting and a bit of plinking as realistically 100yds is a stretch with subs..

ColinBR Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 My dad has a Hawke Sidewinder 6-24 on his MPR and is more than ok in comps with it too. It was my scope till he borrowed it to see if he liked it. Needless to say I havent seen it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I want a point and aim scope.. as much as I like twiddling turrets a reticle I've tried and record aiming points for reference will be perfect for my needs, I don't wanna keep adjusting side parallax and don't really need to take shots past 100yds very often.ive had this 22 for nearly 20 years so I know it's capabilities.

Funny enough I was just looking at a VX3 i I did try a 4x12x40 ir vxr cds on it but parallax was set for 150yds. It didn't work.. it was a great scope...

One of the nicest scopes I've ever used I’m a big leupold fan , I have a lad at out club with a VX3 with duplex retical and for a 1” tube it’s fantastic! my problem is the rifle is 95% target and like I said bit of bunny bashing once in a blue moon , one of my clubs do a 100 m small bore comp with a couple of other clubs , nothing too serious, but enough to be competitive and great fun. so a highish mag would be handy hence the side PA . ive been shooting long enough to know what I want / need but this time there are other things to consider I spose .

No i deer Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've had 2 x Mk4's.. A 20 and 25 mag and they are brilliant scopes.. I sold one to get a sightron with more mag for longrange target and for hunting with a illuminated dot which is pure genius and the other for a vortex golden eagle for f class. That too is a great scope. Superb glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I used up some CCI subs I was trying and rezeroed for 42gr Winnie subs which shoot best in my CZ452. Groups shot prone from 50yds. Right group was adjusted down 2 clicks and shot the left group to keep 0.5 inches high. My Simmonds diamond mag is slightly blurred on 12 mag and feel I could hold more accurately with some better glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Redfield Revolution 4-12x40? (I believe made in the Leupold Oregon factory to the older vxii spec) or an older leupold 6.5-20x40 target? Redfield would be about £250 ish older leupold maybe a few quid more, Edinburgh Rifles has one on their guntrader listing https://www.guntrader.uk/dealers/edinburgh/edinburgh-rifles-sporting-goods/equipment/sights-optics/6-5-20x40-vari-x-191108095004527 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 These are a bit more than your budget and rear focus not side but these are really class act. I have competed LSR wth mine and excellent point and shoot scope.... https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/product/sightron-siii-10x42-rear-focus-mmd/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big fan of vxiii’s myself, have two (8.5-25x50 and 4.5-14x50 ill) and picked a redfield 3-9x40 for my 308 woodland stalker, lifetime warranty too!

No i deer Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 There is a vortex 10x42 thing on eBay with target turrets.. 10 mag is too much for me.. 9 mag is likely to be too much but for the hunting purpose I would normally use it on x 7 or/and x 9 for long shots or plinking.

One on top of two Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I’ll have a wait and see what comes up over the next few weeks. I have a vortex PST gen 2 I can use for now. That should tide me over nicly until that nice little secondhand leup to turn up 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 OoToT Regardless of all this scope discussion, that Sir, is a bloody nice rifle!! 😎 T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you terry , I know it’s just a rimmy to some , but this thing is gonna be loads of fun and put a big cheesy grin on my face if I ever win one of entry level comps haha . It’s all about the fun factor terry . I have had a play with the single shot version , using tenex biathlon I couldn’t believe how accurate these rifles are ( benchrested ) it’s bug holes at 100m .. it’s ridiculous ! oh and the trigger .......... I’ll leave it there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 OoToT, Comletly agree, a good 22rf is not to be underrated, I’ve an MPR with probably the same trigger (they are rather good !) and the ability to put shot no shot with the ammo it likes does induce a grin. With a bit of W effort dropped mine into a CF stock. A good semi is also required for the other stuff i.e. not bench. As to a scope, it deserves a nice one. 200 yards is very do-able with a 22rf, after that the wind has far too much influence IMHO.
