Some may have soon my posts on the 22-250 options. So I have a Tikka T3x Forest in 22-250 coming into the shop soon, so now my project is to check out scope options. Wanting to set up a quality rig that will be precise. Looking to shoot vermin - rabbits, fox, and[/u] permit roos. Maybe a goat or two.
My budget is prob up to $2,500 (though there are some options that sit around $1200-1300).
Some of my criteria are:
* enough magnification to shoot out to 300m (game and target)
* magnification to assist with my eyes getting older (20+ is fine)
* illuminated and simple (i.e not a ballistic type) reticle
* quality gear that will do the job through the whole range of powers.
* 30mm more light (??)
* turret style elevation and windage for easy dialing
* easy to adjust and 'feel' controls i.e. paralex, illum, magnification (not too stiff, not too loose)
Some options so far:
1. Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24 x 50 mm with Reticle 60 illuminated (basically a solid 3 post) [leading the pack at the mo]
2. Meopta Optika 6 4.5-27 x 50 4C illum reticle (looks good)
3. Meopta Optika 6 3-18 x 50 4C illum reticle
4. Vixen 5-20 x 50mm illum plex reticle
5. unfortunately I cat really afford my preferred Leica - like I have on the .308
- But Amplus 6 2.5-15 x 56i??6. Leupold options
Also looking to perhaps/ maybe/ possibly use a PARD NV 007 with this set up. Do-able??
Keen to hear your insights form experiences with any of the above, or simply opinions for the 250 outfit.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
