Rifle Scopes 6x or 10x fixed PM2

[Healy]

Trying to decide which way to go most shooting will be ringing steel inside of 500 yards also hunting open fields for white tail, coyotes

Any reason you are set on a fixed power scope?

 

[Healy]

I just like the simplicity of a fixed power riflescope

At the moment the only fixed PMII available is the 10x42 PM II

If you're stuck on a fixed and only use it for hunting out to 500yds go with the 6X. You'll still see your target no problem but will have better FOV over the 10X.

Any idea how long before the 6x is in stock?

I too, at time just enjoy a fixed setup. I run a German SB Klassik 6x62 on one of my favorite rifles, custom .280 rem Mauser. I am quite capable with it out to 500 and the glass is superb.

Thanks for the advice the only other high end optic I’ve had is a Nightforce NXS any idea if the glass will be comparable or maybe even better on the klassik?

It is a work in progress with S&B as the scope needs to be tweeked for FOV. Hopefully this summer

Mine is an older model. If you look long enough you can find a really nice scope. This one was on a old Belgium Browning on GB. I asked the dealer to separate it and ended up with a great SB for my .280.

I don’t believe I’d part with that rig

Thanks, My wife had it built for me 30 years ago for our 15th wedding anniversary.

It is definitely staying in the family and it has put a lot of game on our table over the years.

Practice shooting both eyes open especially hunting where you aren't looking for a tiny x ring
10 power or 6 power and you have the same field of view for the most part

when I started shooting trap my instructor heckled me about keeping both eyes open, once I was able to I realized there’s a lot more out there

Thanks, man. She is a wonderful wife, an amazing woman and very capable with her personal favorite GS Scout .308 Swaro suppressed setup.
