Scope Recommendation?

Post by ScottB »

I have a CZ 527 American in .221 Fireball and I need a scope. Main use of the rifle is as a walking varminter, for a wide range of furry and feathered targets (p-dogs, sage rats, crows, chucks, coyotes, etc.

What would you recommend?

Here is a link to the scope that Joe was referring to: http://www.customreloadingtools.com/crt_049.htm

The Hawke Sidewinder Tactical scopes are a very nice fit for the CZ 527.

Bushnell 4200/6500 are very good scopes,ideal for the .221 fireball ranges. Sightrons are bloody awsome scopes, nightforce quallity optically and mechanicaly but nearly half the price.

A cheaper option is the MTC Viper or Tapian.
