It's chambered for the 308 Winchester with a 24 inch barrel. I was thinking of putting on a Leupold VX3 2.5x8x36 which would be ideal however my old eyes can't see as well at those small one inch bulls eye at 100, 200 and 300 meters. I will have to go with a higher magnification but don't know which one. This thing points like a dream and should fit me nice on the range and in the field.............can't wait to do both!
The base is a one piece where the rings do not move, however I did put on a 2.5x10x50 Zeiss on it just to give it a try and it was perfect. With a leupold it generally gives a little better eye relief therefore I should be safe with relief. The dark wood is beautiful along with the grain.
I've been hearing great reviews regarding the Meopta and will take a look and compare them to leupold and zeiss for clarity and sharpness. I haven't settled as of yet which scope however I do need something with a 12 to 14 magnification. Thanks for the tip!About the Leopold scope with your old eyes, why no go to a clearer glass and 30mm tube, you should give Meopta Optics a look?
I am a long time Leopold optics user, and I am replacing most of mine with Meopta scopes, same price point or less than an Leopold of equal value.
I had a good long look at these break action singles, they are the tops for that type of rifle, hope to have a hands on look at ShotShow !
Great rifle , have fun
