    Mid priced BR scope

    I will ask the BR shooters....What scope would you buy for 25yd BR with max price £400 ??
    Are there any half decent lightweight scopes about for this price bracket ? Age immaterial as long as reliable and they can be had.
    Whats the opinions guys please??

    Thank you

    NOW SORTED......thanks guys.

    BR scope

    Have used leupold BR36, sightron 36x42, Fox 10-40x50, now using falcon T50+ 10-50x60 with good results. All available new or secondhand within your budget, allow for a good set of mounts. Hope this helps.

    Scope

    If scope size and weight is an issue then leupold or sightron are the best choice.

    Woki meet Mark.

    You two must know each other from the Sally Army soup kitchens.

    It was Woki who was responsible for getting me the sack when I worked in the soup kitchen in the homeless unit.

    He had been there all night so at midnight I shouted "Come on Woki, sup up. Some of us have homes to go too! "

    Have you asked Andy Mc (hes from up North ya knows) or Dave Pilky. They have loads of spare scopes.

    Yes, he did but we dont like to admit it.

    I have to admit he was a good member because he used to save us a fortune in paint because he never chipped it off the target kill zones.

    I shall ask Pilky tonight what scopes hes got for sale.
