Hi, greetings from Scotland.
At present I am using a 8/56 Schmidt & Bender
on my .22/250 heavy varmint. The optics are superb and it is also very useful when the light starts to fade.
For small pests out to 200-250 yards it is excellent but past 250yards the crosshairs almost blot out the target altogether.
I am considering moving the S+B on to a
25-06 and purchasing another scope for the .22/250.
I would like to be able to zoom in to around 15-20 power but also able to zoom out to 6-7 in the fading light. I also like the idea of 'target turrets' that remove the bullet drop factor.
Could anyone recommend a make or model that has given good results ?
Light gathering, zero holding and a crosshair that will not disappear at dusk or dawn are most important.
I have a budget of between $600-£700
I would be very grateful for any replies on this subject as knowledge of long range optics is very limited.
Thanks for any replies in advance
Cheers,
