Mark II Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Do you use a scope or reddot for mini rifle /practical shooting and what make. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Depends, I like a red dot out to about 50yards and a LVPO past that. I use a Vortex PST 1-4 with a switchview speedlever in a Warne Skel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark II Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Ok I am new to this style of shooting so what is a LVPO and a Warne Skel Excuse my lack of knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Mark II it is an issue when folks use jargon 😎, you will have to learn all these if you are going to hang with the ‘HSLD’ crowd (High speed low drag) 😂😂 LPVO in a Warne Skel = a low powered zoom scope in a lightweight mount. Low power scopes typically run 1-4, 1-6 with some 1-8 & 1-10 variants, normally driven by if it is a first or second focal plane scope. In answer to your OP I’m using a 1-8 power first focal plane which has a nice illuminated reticle so it can be used as a red dot as the March’s 1x is a true 1x. 8x is quite enough scope out to 100 yards.

Mark II Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hello Terry Thank you for clearing that up, not sure if I can run to a march scope but hawke do one that might fit the bill for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Some of the so-called 1x- Low Powered Variable Optics aren't true 1x often they're slightly higher 1.2-3 etc. Try before you buy in this market. I've had the Vortex Strike Eagles in 1-6 and and 1-8, wasn't a fan of the 1-6 reticle so traded up to the 1-8, but found the glass not that clear, better reticle though. The old Vortex PST 1-4 was in a QD mount so fitted it to my newest .22 for a test and took it the the range later that week. They don't make this scope anymore, but it was a excellent buy for the clarity of glass in this price range at the time. A further plus it was shorter and relatively light weight compared to recent models. The QD mount has been ditched and I'm sticking to this setup for the year. Swap the Atec Wave mod with a A1 style birdcage for mini rifle stuff. Last summer when shooting short range matches out to 50 yards, used a Vortex SPARC AR RDS (red dot sight). Hopefully this post is clearer than my previous in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark II Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Very nice set up, I have seen the Sparc and like the fact it has a 2moa dot and doesn't cost stupid money. What rifle do you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Rifle is a Lantac LA-SF15, with some modification by me. That red dot is for sale on here somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
