What kind of scope for my sxs DR?
      25/01/09 04:06 PM

I have an Antonio Zoli Savana E DR with normal rib, pistol grip stock with cheek piece in caliber 9.3x74R.

Although I will eventually make it to Africa with this rifle, for now, I will use it to hunt deer and moose in forested terrain, as well as from my tree stands.

My eyes are getting older and the iron sights on this DR are not to my liking therefore, I am going to scope this rifle.

I have purchased bases and QD rings from Dave Talley. As far as a scope, I am looking at an intermediate eye relief scope. The rear of the scope would sit just forward of the point were the barrel breaks.

I have an older Leupold M8 2x IER scope that would work for the above application. The nice thing about the IER is sight acquisition is quick when shouldered. The eye relief is approximately 9 inches.

Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, opinions, options regarding the above? I am not locked into the Leupold IER.

Kindest regards,

Carpediem
