Gents after years of not using a .22lr i recently treated my self to a sako quad, the main reason bieng i needed one to take the measurements off so we can make a chassis like the AICS for it,. but after fiddling about with the rifle, ive sort of taken to it and ended up chopping the barrel back 6" and threading it M18x1.5 and replacing the bolt handle and machining a picatinny rail to fit, now its about time i got around to shooting it, especialy noticing the amount of rabbits back on the farm in E.Yorks.
So i'm looking to scope the beast.. what i want to do is some long range subsonic rabbiting.
I used to use a 6.5-20x42 EFR Leupold, with target turrets on my CZ.
Now most of the lads who use a .22 here either shoot rabbits in the cemetary or pigeons in the garden and have 6x42 cheapo scopes on them.
rimfire isn't so popular here.
I suppose i could swap one of my PMII's across, but an thinking about a dedicated scope
for the rifle and am sure that there are few on the market in the UK that we never see here, what do you suggest for a scope for the quad. I want a reticle that I can range with. adjustable turrets,
thanks for any ideas.
