Unfortunately SAARA rules force you to use diopter sights. Unless you have a BIG budget to afford the up market rifles, you are in for a lot of misery. First of all you need to find a front and rear diopter for your newly acquired rifle. Then you have to get someone who can do the modifications to your rifle to fit these sights. If you bought a rifle for about R1500, you’ll probably find that the sights cost more than the rifle. In the end you have an over R3000 shooting rig that have a crappy trigger and average performance. Well, that is what usually happens…
With all the attention on high powered rifles, we only recently discovered this little gem… the HW30S ( on special now).
If you are looking for a 10 springer it doesn’t come any better than this. One of our clients bought this for his 15 year old daughter, and she won her first 10 3P competition.
