The scope, once you get it right, is your greatest ally!

If you buy a new cheaper scope and find you like HFT ( I bet you will ) you will then want a better scope and will loose money on the one you bought.
If you buy, say, a second hand MTC 10x44 viper for about £120-130 and find you don't like HFT you should be able to sell it for what you paid.
WANTED: Next weeks winning lottery numbers :-)
a rhino 2.5-10×26 is worth a look on the 2nd hand market. about £75 - 80. poor quality optics with bad coatings but very well suited to hft due to the depth of field and lack of paraĺlax. Use 32mm plastic downpipe from b and q as a sunshade.
A hawke panorama 4-12x40 has half moldot and will last you a little way in if you get into HFT. Should be around 70-80 quid second hand.

i have a hawke sport hd 4-12x50 AO these are 75£ new,im after £45 free p&p
Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9x40 Ir
I have plenty of scopes including leups, bushies and few old school WTC's
For the money, this little nikko gem is unbeatable.
I've got a Tasco Varmint Target 2.5-10X42, gonna have a go with that decide if the discipline is for me (& I think it will be), once I know what's what i'll invest in a scope for the purpose, The Tasco has decent optics, mill dot recticle and target turrets so should provide a starting point and was cheap enough (read very) to use on one of my hunting rifles when I upgrade.
Thanks all for the info it's given me a few options to explore, I think now I need to get down there and shoot some targets
