What Scope

Post by 35isit »

Since there is no Practical Hunter sub-forum. I will ask the question here. Those of you that have "built" Practical Hunter guns. What scope do you use? I know we are limited to 6X.
Do you use a 3 X 9, 4 X 12 or what? I should have mentioned in the "flop" position.

For both PH22 and PHSC, I'm using Nikon Pro Staff Target EFR, 3X-9X. Very bright image and the turrets are resettable by lifting and turning. No tools required. Perfect scope for PH, in my opinion. Shooting flop with both.

Is that the same scope Jackie Brown is using?

I am not 100% sure. His is also Nikon, 3X-9X but I cannot remember if he has the adjustable objective lens as does the target model. Send him a message here or on FB.

Yes it is Greg. It’s the clearest and brightest scope I’ve ever used,including Leupold.JMOP!

I been playing with scopes and added 6.5 x 20 and high rise to my gun but with this combo, an 20 moa rings the gun weighs just barely under 6 pounds so a no-go for FP.

I also have Kenlight sights with a rail on it.

Trying to get this to drop a pound is insane. I getting use to high power so even if add 24 power Leopold that is 6 ounces less in weight i still way over the limit for FP?

Going to be hard.

Greg if I had to do it all over! I would put the Nikon EFR on my UAS gun,and trust me that’s saying something,choosing it over my Weaver T36!
