The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I've just bought a Hawke Vantage + 3-9x50 AO IE for my FAC air rifle (AA S410) which i'm really happy with, but for my 22-250 I'd like something a bit more functional.

Certainly looking for greater zoom, but a side focus wheel would definitely be handy. distance and windage wise, are there higher-end scopes that you can zero, then adjust for distance, then easily return to preset zero?

I'll almost certainly fit NV to it also (something like a viper) but it looks like most would be compatible.

What am I going to have to spend to get something like this?

Shooting will mainly be fox to around 200m

I just bought a Hawke Endurance 5-15x50 with side focus and illuminated mildot reticule for my Swiss K31.

It has a 16 element lenses as opposed to the Vantage 11 element and the mildot reticule is etched onto the glass.

I have only tried it out to 100m so far, but the image was pin sharp up to and including 15x magnification.

It is all calibre rated and Utting's have a great deal on these scopes at the moment, they are reduced from £259 to £179.

Needless to say, I am very pleased with the scopes performance for the money.
