Nikko Stirling Mount Master¿ Any Good?

[GEOFF.223 83]

recently sold my mtc as i thought for the money i payed it was junk. (just my opinion dont panic or get upset) so i got myself a nikko mount master 4-12x50 ao mil dot for £42

it was either a hawke or nikko and i have had hawkes in the past so want to try a nikko stirling mount master as i had a n s nighteater and thought it was well worth th cash.

 

SOOOO does anyone have a nikko mount master and is it any use?????!

I had 1 and sold it after 1 outing. Didn't like it at all. The glass wasn't as clear as i thought it should be. Bought a Hawke Sport HD 4-12x50 AO IR and for the money they're excellent. Think i paid around 70 quid new. I personally don't see any need to pay hundreds for an air rifle scope as most people, like me will rarely be shooting at live quarry beyond 40 yards.

I have one on my 17hmr cant fault it,I allso have the 3x9x40 on my .22 rimfire,no problems for a cheap scope they do the trick,

I brought one last month and think its absolutely great, it's a budget scope but... I work on a budget and I find it great, I have the ir as well because it he place I got it was all the have but I don't use it

Best reports i've heard. Maybe i had a bad 1!

I think nikko sterling are a cracking scope for the price I have had gold crown on my aa s310 for years and not had one bit of trouble with them clear as ya like

i got one and the glass is very clear and is good at close range spot on for the money

Air gun , there has been reports that the older model wasn't as clear and that the ao allowed water in and broke on a particular batch, they have sorted it now I think,

It was early last year that i had it. I bought it because i already had a N.S. Goldcrown which was/is excellent. I think i only paid around 55 quid new for the Mountmaster an thought i couldn't go wrong. I bought the Hawke and compared them both and there was no comparison between the 2 so the Mountmaster went and i now have 2 Hawkes on the PCP's. I reckon i just had a bad 1 as the glass was very slightly clouded and it made the Hawke look crystal.

Yer probably mate shame tho but glad you have a hawke, great scopes too, what's the price comparison like?

I purchased a mountmaster for my dad for Xmas and its spot on. He uses his on a tx200 and it hits the target no problem, really clear optics and well priced with a milldot reticule! What more could you want.

I think i paid 55 quid for the N.S. and 70 quid for the Hawke. I think the Hawke maybe around 100 quid now though.

[Craig Fosse 286]

I thnk nikko do a gameking for around 70, scopes are like the rifle itself personal preference anyway .... My eyesight is probably so crap that the nikko makes it better which is why I find it good hahaha

Sh*te mate. Better paying a bit more and getting something worth hanging onto. Sold one and bought a Bushnell legend 5-15x40 second hand from ebay for 50 quid, superb scope!

[milegajo 595]

I favour Hawke, but Nikko Sterling certainly do the job. I prefer scopes that i dont feel too precious about. I dont abuse my kit, but let's face it out in the field;

 

Shit happens!
