Evening all
I am thinking about buying a set up for driven boar shooting but I do have my doubts about which glass to buy. I know everyone will suggest a z6i 1-6x24 or something along those lines......this is all well and good but it wont do as the rifle will also be used occasionally for more conventional stalking outings which means that 6 magnification isnt as much as I would like and 24 end objective is certainly not enough for any dawn or dusk shooting. I have looked around and a 2.5-10x50 or 56 seems a common enough scope and seems to fit the bill as far as the stalking needs but......is 2.5 mag to much for driven shooting??? especially if you say had a target at 20 yards????!!!
Any thoughts, suggestions or experiences welcome!
Thanks, Phil.
