Evening guys. After a lot of thought, suggestions and ideas bouncing around in my head I finally made a decision and bought a scope for my .416. It's a Meopta Meostar R2 1.7-10x42.
Eye relief seems really good. Longer than my 1.5-5 Leupold and it's pretty clear. Handling the gun in the house the focus is fine right down to about two meters at 1.7x, plenty close enough I would have thought? It also sits nicely on the rifle and is fairly low in the mounts so cheek weld on the stock is solid. Bolt throw is close but clear and not obstructed. For now it's in fixed mounts but I will be buying some QD mounts for it before I hunt anywhere remote. These will be fine for anything I'm likely to encounter around here!
I thought I'd attach a photo as we all like to see pictures of other member's kit. I reckon it looks pretty good!
