Tyla 3,179 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Having recently used a friends scope with mil dot reticule I am contemplating upgrading my 15 year old simmons 3-9x50. I am pretty much out of touch with current airgun gear so im after some advice. I dont want to spend a fortune but want something reasonable quality, im happy with the simmons lenses and dont want anything with parallax as i use a laser range finder for that. So, what does everyone else use and recommend? Thanks Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I am using a couple of Hawke scopes and am impressed with them. My other scopes are Meopta, they are superb but a bit mor expensive. Never liked Simmons, Nikko Stirling. Keen on Nikon , Avoid "new" Tascos ,but the old Jap Tascos are fantastic. Hawke, definately have a look at them. ATB Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Cheers mate, i'll have a look. Had a target hawke with parallax on a different gun a few years back but didnt get on with it, probably the parallax though. Looks like a trip to the gunshops in order to have a look at a few. Dont think anyone else in the airgun section likes me after the hares post. Never get any replies when i post in here any more LOL Quote Link to post

gurtwurz 792 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 all you did was speak your mind mate, i doubt anybody's got a problem with that! i just picked up a leapers 3-9x40 from js ramsbottom, its a good little scope, pretty clear, no parralax adjustment and cost about £30. seems to be fine on the pro sport so far cheers, wurz Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well done Carl ..... Now that getting the forum back to the way it should be. Just as a thrown in I would have recommended Richter Optiks. Budget scopes with great build and optic quality Darryl Quote Link to post
