After a cheapy

Post by Beau204 »

Picked up a tikka varmint stainless in 204 for a good price, can't afford a meopta meopro at the moment so after something to tie me over for a bit, looked at a bushnell banner 6-18x50 for $289 or a olivon which my Lgs has 6-24x50 for roughly $265 will also need some rings as well.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

Have you had a look on EBAY ?

For the money you are going to spend to get the Meopro do yourself a big favor and grab a Sightron S11 it will shit or all over the Meopro in every regard.

Have a mates that's going to replace his Meopta 6-18x50 that's on his walk around 243.
He's looking for smaller magnification,thus getting a bigger field of view(3-9 or 3-12)
He's asking $500.
Cheers Biggy.

My mate loved his redfield until the weekend just been. Looked through my nightforce and watched the impact of the 20ppc and realised as trev said you cannot see out of a cheap scope

Easy fixed- use something that makes bigger holes and it's cheaper than a flash new scope :p
