Another "Canuck" from Canada

Welcome Julian! Saw you stopped by a few threads and made some great contributions already! Your looking to be a great addition, very glad you joined.

Here is an African Monarch. http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/95...-rifle-scope-1-4x-20mm-german-4-reticle-matte Low cost, looks like a great scope for the money, lots of eye relief and field of view! Now if it just had an illuminated recital it might be near perfect for that 404....

However you mentioned possibly going to a red dot.. why not get the best of both Worlds and go to a scope with illuminated recital? Mid range there is the Zeiss Duralite, Leupold VXR 1-4 and many others and even a VX3 1.5-5 illuminated, and have not tried one but even the new Weaver Grand Slam.

Go up just a tad and get into a Leupold VX6 1-6 firedot 4 (try to look through one before you buy!) I think it comes comes close enough to a Z6i 1-6 for almost 1/3rd the money. And look into a Trijicon 1-4 (all 3 of these are 30mm tubes)

Welcome to AH Julian.

DOC's fave and he might be able to give you a suggestion.

Look forward to pictures of the build when it's done.


Welcome! Agree with Brickburn, this is the perfect "ask the DOC" question.
 
Welcome to AH, Julian !

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
