There’s a shop in Scotland that has a pretty steady supply of used 3-12 and 4-16 Schmidts. Will look name up later.

Macleods in Tain always have some decent used scopes as does Hunters Cabin near me. There’s some nice used kit on UK Varminting too. Plenty of good alternatives out there manufacturer wise but S&B have always been a reliable consistent tool, unfortunately they don’t half hold their value. I’ve a decent bit of glass to go on in meantime so no rush.

Fairly sure it was Macleods or Edinburgh I was thinking of.

Everyone else started on the pheasants yet? First proper day today. My mate I usually go with absent but I’m trying to get out of the house more. Beating, not shooting.

A £1000 rifle will shoot lights out these days. I wouldn’t hesitate to put a £2000 scope on a £200 rifle either. They can shoot too. The scope is more important. 

I dunno , some guns are just crap ! No amount of scopes or sighting in will the things ever shoot straight.

Managed to bag a Charlie last weekend at the shooting ground.

So my Leupold scope has developed fog inside, so need to send it off for repair. Have found a bargain on a Schmidt and bender 2.5-10x50 ir has anyone on here used or use one.

I’ve used PM2s for years and love them, proper solid bit of kit, any S&B scope will serve you well even  if cosmetically it’s a bit bruised they still do the job.
