Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope for Driven Red deer & Boar

I have an invitation for a driven Red Deer and Wild boar hunt in Germany in Nov. I just bought a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 ,which I plan to leave over there for future trips . I'm looking for a good low power scope to put on the rifle . They say that at times the shooting can be fast and furious,at running game . any ideas . I would like to keep it in a reasonable price range. $300.00 to 500.00 .

Just returned from there 2 days ago.
May I suggest a Docter sight II instead of a scope? Had a chance to use one mounted on a Schoenaur carbine. Pretty slick gadget and I am really considering getting one to use here.

It's a German site but I'm sure you can search for one in English.

This is a photo of the same reticle but with illuminated crosshairs.

Typically, "battue" scopes are 1,25-4 (I use mine on 2x, except for in between long range shots in a clearing - most shots will be running at 10-30 m over a 9 - 30 ft. narrow shooting line and will require fast shooting. My personal std. drive hunting armament consist of :
- fair weather

FN-Browning 9,3x74R + Swarovski 1,25-4x24 (circle dot)

foul weather

Blaser R93 9,3x62 + Swarovski 1,25-4x24 (illuminated 4 reticle)

I don't know how you could do any better than a new leupold 2.5x8x36. covers the low and high end pretty well. fits your budget too! i have one on a 250 savage and it is a dandy. this scope could really handle all of your big game hunting chores. may want to check ring spacing first for your rifle.

Burris Fullfield II 1.75x5. You can get one for as cheap as $155 from Natchez.
