Sounds like a good idea, At the moment I'm looking to participate just as a leisure activity as my competative shooting remains pistol, I would however like to put my rifles to better use & after visiting Iden Ferns it does seem a challenge that will appeal to me, I had no idea that a suitable scope would be quite the cost it appears to be, but then I guess it's all subjective, I've just spent the best part of £200 on a pistol grip which in reality is a chuck of wood (albeit very pretty and shaped to fit my hand perfectly)

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.
