scope for a 243

[mosa]

Hello all i am looking to buy my 1st 243 and this mainly will be used for foxing aand target shooting at the range. Would you suggest a variable scope or a fixed 8x56 cheers all

Well I'd go for a variable - 4-16 or 6-24 probably. You won't need it for the range (I use a 6x42 on my .308 and have no issues at the range) but for foxing I'd want to be able to dial it up to the max.

I'm not a prolific fox shooter though, so I'm sure someone will have better advice...

8x56 Hungarian S&B - I use mine for stalking, lamping and daytime foxing. Incidntaly on my .223 I have 4-16x50 Leup, its ace, really is. But out of choice S&B every time.


Good luck with whatever

For foxing i like the Nightforce range of scopes with a NP-2DD reticle
IOR is another make to consider

8X56 S & B hungarian, cant go wrong.
If you get a variable and "crank" it right up at night, you wont see f all through it!
