logun 91 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 just looking for some honest no bullshit sub £200 scope for my hmr.any suggestions ? Quote Link to post
remi700 99 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Id try to find a second hand european fixed power, somthin like a kahles 6x42 or somthing like that. Keep an eye to ebay sometimes get a bargain there. You'll always get better value and quality from a european scope because it should last you a lifetime. Dont worry about lower magnifications if the quality is in the glass it will get your job done. Atb Mark Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Kahles for under 200 bucks ! if you find any let me know !lol I picked up a Meopta artemis for 200. well worth it, you`ll also get Hawke sr30 for that as well, Quote Link to post
remi700 99 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wouldn't buy a hawke scope, you'd just be throwin good money after bad. End up buyin somthin else in 12 months when you get sick a seein nothin. I bought a schmidt bender 2 years ago 8x56 brand new for £380. Keep an eye on ebay, you could be suprised what you can pick up. Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Doesn`t sound like my sr30`s then, maybe you`ve been using fakes or somit, And a S&B for 380, if you can get them for that price I`ll take 20 No point pipe dreaming or the lad will be waiting around for a scope that will never turn up. S&B and Kahles are not £200 scopes, and you probably know it, try being realistic Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I stuck a Bushnell banner on mine when I first had it, and only changed it in the end because I wanted a scope with greater magnification. They are ok as far as scopes go, but imo don't both with the IR version, as like most cheap scopes they can flare out. Quote Link to post

mealiejimmy 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 +1 on the Nikon I have a Monarch on my 22 CZ and it's absolutely excellent. I think a new Prostaff is the best scope out there for less than £200 Don't waste money on illuminated reticles, spend it on better glass Quote Link to post
remi700 99 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Keep an eye on this website aswell. Can be good for second hand optics. Friend a mine bought a second hand swarovski 8x56 from him a few years back for £350. http://www.rmacleod.co.uk/ Quote Link to post
Smig 1 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I've got a WTC (3-10X50) on mine; simple and trustworthy - they come up second hand for less than your budget HTH Quote Link to post
will84 10 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've got a leapers 6-24x56 on mine paid £100 for it s/h, im very pleased with it, happily head shot bunnies out to 130yds with it an crows a bit further. it's good at dusk aswell. Have often thought about spending on a dear scope but thought is it really worth it? Probly not! Quote Link to post
