Sako 85 varmint 243 win
 
So like the title says I just picked one of these up. It’s going to be a target/varmint rig and used on Wyoming antelope next fall. Interested in what your opinions are for a scope for this rig and a bullet powder combo. I’ve loaded for 243 win before but curious as to what other opinions are. Thanks!

3-9 or 4-12

I use 3-15x42 scopes on all of my target/varmint rifles. My 243win rifles liked the 75gr v-max, for varmints, and the 90gr Accubond for deer sized game.

Sounds like an awesome hunt coming up.

Something in a 4-16X feels right.

The 90gr Accubond is perfect for this.

Yeah I was thinking something like the hd5 3-15x42 or z3 3-12x50 both with ballistic turrets

I like the Z-3, but I am not a fan of the 3-12, as it has no AO. The HD-5 is discontinued, but you may still find some around

I prefer the Zeiss target turrets to any other.
