[TH4]

Lots of places doing the Hungarian 8x56 new for 450

Reviving a 10 year old thread. Might be better to start a new one on the question you’re asking .
Would it work to say 600 yds. Yes. Is it the ideal scope. No.
If your hunting and long distance shooting a variable scope will likely be a better bet

Ok thanks for the advice on both counts.

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the market for a new scope, I recently found an advert for a - Schmidt and Bender 8x56 Hungarian Klassik for just over £500.00.

Has anyone had experiance with this scope as it seems to be quite cheap for a Schmidt and Bender.

Is there much difference quality wise between the Hungarian + the German versions?


Any advice positive or negative would be well received.

I have a max of £600 to spend on a scope..............any recommendations please?????

I have one I am not using , it's a 1inch tube if your interested.

I already have two 30mm Germans, one on my cz452 silhouette 22lr and another on my 223 for foxing. But thanks for the offer.

You should try it out but you’ll probably find the reticle isn’t as fine as you want and that you’ll want a turret that easier to adjust to move between zero points. But will you hit a 10inch gong at 600 yd’s with a bit of practice etc then yes

Try Toby @R. Macleod & Son as he had some brilliant new Zeiss V4's for your budget.

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a go, what would you recommend to substitute it with? I'm happy to buy second hand If in good condition or new upto about £800
