Our plan is to salvage and repair as many of the 4 club owned spotting scopes we have in order to keep them for outdoor shooting, loaners and other less day-to-day roles, but we are in need of 4 new club scopes to be used on the club-owned range.
Historically we've got freeland style scope stands, and we are looking to replace like-for like - http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog/Fr ... tands.html
This will leave in the region of £315 each for scopes. So I was wondering if any of you have experience in scope/stands for smallbore. I will list through the potential usage for the scopes below to adequately determine the best scopes for the job. Suggestions for cheaper locations to get scope stands, or alternative scope stands are appreciated.
Requirements
Disciplines
- Prone Target Rifle
- Benchrest Shooting
- Pistol Spotting (from behind a bench)
- Lightweight Sporting Rifle
- Air Rifle
- 10m (Air Rifle)
- 20yd (LBP/LSR)
- 25yd
- 50m
- 100yd
If anyone has suggestions, they will be sorely appreciated, and please be mindful of the budget. £500 total per scope AND stand. I have to get 4 so prices may be negotiable with some dealers, so slightly more expensive scopes than budget might not be out of the question, but £1000 scopes are definitely a no-go!
Thanks in advance.
