Afternoon all,
I have been lucky enough to be invited on a driven boar shoot in Austria this winter.
I am going to take my .30-06 and have developed a 180 grain load for it.
I currently have a Zeiss 6-20x50 scope on-board so I’m looking for something more suitable.
I have narrowed it down to two options:
Now, the Aimpoint is fixed 1x magnification. It looks to be pretty ideal for swinging through the running game with both eyes open…. But is there any merit in being able to have more power on a driven day by choosing a more classic 1-4 variable scope?
Those who have experienced such delights as driven boar, I would welcome your thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Miles

- Go with the classic 1-4x22 with Illuminated dot
- Aimpoint Hunter
