I have your rig, pretty much as described plus mod and rubber ball on the bolt. Is illuminated reticule worth the extra for stalking and a lot of people seem to use fixed mag scopes, not sure why as it seems potentially limiting but its not my area of expertise. Scope model suggestions, especially in light of the constraints of the rifle set up.ģ. Hopefully I can get this set up over the summer and see if I can get some guided stalking in this year.Ģ. I prefer cm/mil rad and ideally turrets that I can dial in but that seems to up the cost a bit. The budget is £5-600 but this can be flexible but don't want to get to daft as I don't use the rifle much. I am mindful of not making the overall height to great so I can get a decent cheek weld on the stock. The scope that was on it has been long gone (it was a leopold Euro 4-10x40 if I remember correctly.Īny suggestions on what I should scope it with? I am thinking about the S&B 8x56 potentially as I have had great experiences with the brand in both work and private use but I'm open to suggestions. I know the rifle is a bit heavy for the hill but it shoots very well and its what I took my first red with 10+ years ago with it so I don't want to change and the rifle is like new and IMHO the M75 appears more solid than the 85 and I like the look of the stock thats on mine. Its been crewcut and bedded and a Picatinny rail installed to avoid the Optilock system. The rifle I am using is a Sako M75 Varmint in a laminated stock in. Any help, pointers or suggestions to avoid are all welcome as this is an area I have little knowledge in albeit a reasonable amount of rifle experience on plate and paper. I would like to consult the forum wisdom for selecting a riflescope for deer stalking.
