Hi everyone,
Can I ask what the biggest scope folks have used with sucess on their QB's?

This is an old 6-18X, but it's about the same size as several maker's 6-24X (or even some 8-32's).

Personally, for hunting will limit myself to about 6x...need the field of view and brightness more than magnification.  For target work in good light, can magnification.

Here's a little 6X compact:

With the factory stock, I find a 4x12x40 fits just about perfect. With an aftemarket stock, one can go a bit larger.

Thanks Ribbonstone :)
The compact looks perfect. I have a similar one like that, a Leapers. I asked as someone gave me a very cheap price on a huge 3-9 x 56 and wondered if it was a match for the QB's. I am going to try it this afternoon   8)
I'll post a few pics too.
Best wishes,
Alan

Hmmm. I was wondering if this 56mm job is going to be a mis-match with the standard stock. I'll post photos later....
