Here is a scope that i have on my r10 mate.

 

Its very clear, very reliable and once calibrated using correct data and the BRC software is bang on out to 55 metres.

jsr scopes as the one in your link are good value scopes but beware you WILL have to shim the back mount it seems a fact of life for 6-24x50 scopes or else you run out of elevation windage when setting up you scope

what does shim the back mean?

[farmboy99 1]

nikko niteater mate pick up a 56 for that money good scopes or a jap tasco an old one you'd get one for about £50 ish much better than the newer chinese shit being pumped out in my opinion

[SEAN3513 7]

what does shim the back mean?

 

when the rear mounts on the scope require shimming (lifting) albeit a fraction, to raise the rear of the scope....to allow the scope to be zeroed without running out of adjustment on the scope turrets.

 

its simply a piece of very thin material......like old camera film, between the scope and the mount.

 

cheers

ZINI, Eh up bud, see you have a new 'forget-me-not' picture Nice one, is that a going away present then?

 

As you would expect from an ex-squaddy I have allready saved your girls picture to 'my pics' then photo-shop it on to a naked body then forwarded it to all my mates in the sand pit, with a mesage that its Zini's missus

 

Take care.

you cant go wrong with a hawke scope. within your budget you can get a variable power scope with parallex adjustment and even illuminated reticle. take your pic as there are plenty of great scopes here: www.hawkeoptics.com

Sorry I hijacked with my comments for Zini, Right, I have been using a Hawke scope for a while now and I like it just fine, great clear optics for the price.

However, I think if were to change scope, personally I would go for a non-parralax adjustable, variable power, that I can just zoom in and out and not have to faff around with focusing all the time as I use a laser range finder and dont need to use the scope for parralax rangefinding now, So for me the next scope will be a fixed objective variable zoom and then just use a mildot reticle for hold over/under, job done.
