Put a Swarovski 1.5x6 or a Schmidt&Bender 1.25x4 on a Chapuis 9.3? | ||

I'd put the Swarovski; I have an S&B on mine, but I think I like the Swarovski better. ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

Whichever is lighter and less likely to screw with the regulation. I put on a 1.5-5X Leupold on my CHapuis and it didn't affect the rifle, but I have heard complaints about this before. "Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand." 470 Heym; 9.3x74r Chapuis, Heym 450/400 on it's way | |||

Sorry, I should have stated the rifle is being regulated at 100 meters with the scope. | |||

I'm in the other camp. I have a Swarovski (1.1x4 I think) and prefer my S&B 1.25x4. Both have illuminated reticles the flash dot type. The S&B has the better and also the better glass to my eye. JPK  Free 500grains | |||

I have an S&B 1.5-6x42 on mine. I like it! Very good scope with a lot of light gathering power. Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ... Knifemaker, http://www.mstarling.com | |||

S&B. I have a 1.5-6 x 42 on my 9.3 x 74 and for me anyway it is the ideal combo for a DR. SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

I like the 42mm objective on the 1.5x6 for low light. A friend of mine loaned me his 9.3x74 with a 1.5x6x42 Zeiss just a couple days ago and I shot a hog just before dark. DRSS NRA life AK Master Guide 124 | |||

I put a Kahles CSX 1.1-4 on my Chapuis. Great scope. Then I'd get a good set of swing off mounts. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

I have owned several Zeiss, Swarovski and Schmidt&Bender scopes. I will be fitting a SCHMIDT&BENDER 1.1-4 on my 450-400 when I finally receive it. | |||

Rusty, Thanks for the link. That scope has a giant field of view at 1.1X. Looks great. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.
