4 For Farm? Who uses a fixed 4mag for farmyard?
I've been using my 3-9x40 diamondback on my R10 at the local dairy farm for ferals, corvids, rats etc it's been good but I'd really like to lower my scope hight to get better eye alignment and get better depth of field from a smaller objective., being as I only really use 4mag I thought a 2-7x32/33/35 would fit the bill. Then I started looking at perhaps a 4x32 and I'm really wondering if a trip back to the start (my first scope was a Nikon prostaff 4x32 np) is in order and forget the ballistic/mildot reticle, & just go Plex/#4, super simple no frills, no AO, no IR, no zoom, no hassles or distraction.. just a fixed fantastic like on my evo. although that is a 6mag, but I tend to use it in the field more....., mmmmm.
So who uses 4mag & Plex/#4 ret to great affect in barns, around sheds, above feed pens & surrounding trees from 5-30yrds max on a .22 pcp? Is it worthwhile me going down this route? Or am I hoping for too much?
Thanks all
