what magnification?

[hw97k 36]

what magnification do you hunt on?.personally i hunt on x6 but just wondered what everyone else normally hunted on?or does it depend on youre scopes calibration. atb hw.

[remi700 99]

Fixed power 8x mag. Does all and no screwin at it.

Daylight mag10, night mag5 through Nite-Site.

The best airgun scope I've ever owned was a Edgar Brothers fixed power 6x44 which I got about twenty years ago. It now lives on my mate Paul's HW90 as I gave it to him for helping me out big time last year.

 

If it's a variable power scope I'm using they stay fixed on between 6 and 8 depending on the scope. Some makes 8x magnify no more than other's 6x, scopes can vary from make to make.

I've always shot on 10x even though my scopes go to 12x. I think my original reasoning for this was because 10x makes the milldots accurate according to my hawke books that came with the scope!

 

I think if you change your mag whilst shooting it effects point of impact.

Any Mag i feel like on the Rapid MK 2, As it's a FFP Falcon Menace so POI is not effected,

And Fixed 10x Mag on the MTC Viper on the Prosport .22.

I keep mine on 6x on the air rifle. I like my mates doctor scope on his .243 though and thats 8x 56. Can't be arsed with altering them all the time as from experience by the time you've messed about the thing you were going to shoot at has probably done a bunk!!

[AR177 588]

Depends on how far im shooting and with which calibre,

 

.177 I use 10 mostly and 5 for upclose and personal

.22 I use 2.5, 5 or 10 depending on how far the shot is

 

I always double / half the mag so i can calculate my holds.

14.5 with my Hawke 6-18x44 SR12 reticle scope when calibrating the shotfall on my HW77 .22 over different ranges. That enables me to shoot at differing ranges accurately and comfortably through the changing light.

Hi guys, this is my first post although I've been a member for a while. I use x10 for most of my shooting but i prefer x5 for ratting .

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Depends, times 8 on the SR6 and 14.5 on the SR12, gives me 5 metre steps with both on the holdover.

[Flow 18]

I usually use x6 but I have a x4 fixed magnification scope on at the minute and its brilliant.

[Phantom 631]

Usually 10 for day (but finding I'm using 12 more often for zero checking) but night time 5 or 6.

When I've been ratting close up (pig farm) I go as wide as the scope will let me and zero for optimal trajectory so no need for hold over/under.

hi

x10 for Daytime shooting targets,vermin,scope cam.

x4 night time scope cam

x 3 for night time ratting
