Scope help please

[Rusty Gate]

Having a 280AI built & will have to source a suitable used scope. What higher mag scopes do you guys recommend to look out for. Looking to hit past the 1km.

Cheers guys.

You need to have a budget in mind....second hand Nightforce etc around a grand not a bad starting point

All depends on your budget.  Any of the quality makes sell well second hand.

You couldn't go far wrong with a Delta Stryker - excellent optics and build quality at a reasonable price

There's a Sightron SIII 8-32 on sale here for £550, including mounts.

 

I've got this model scope on my 6.5CM and I use it to great effect out to 1000 yards on Stickledown. I liked it so much I got a second one to put on my .308.

^^this, I had one of these on my RPR (6.5CM) for a while and my son regularly shot out to 1000yards. In my opinion, for the money unbeatable.

I just pulled the trigger on the new delta javelin.  Needing a scope for my 223 when my variation comes back.  It was either that or the eotech VUDU the delta won out in the end.

The cyclops reviewer is technically spot-on, and I quite enjoy his enthusiastic quirky Southern style  I'd have a dig through his reviews.

This review led me to get this Element scope for .22 use ...I'd say  it's about 85% of a 5-25 Schmidt for £2000 less.

He also reviews the delta that Top Scots has mentioned, sounds even better, but £400 more:

I went with the delta.  The deals on the eotech look good in optics warehouse.  The delta review above made me go with the cheaper option.    I have an element helix SFP sat there  which is a great scope for the money.  Don’t think you would go far wrong with an element.
