Airgun Scopes

[carlo5983 11]

What's the top scopes out there at the min got the mamba lite on me regal but need a new one for me hw100 ????

[Rez 4,957]

Viper connect. Nuff said

 

My personal pref, even though I don't own one anymore...

 

Any hawke glass would also suffice.

[moxy 617]

If you want decent then don't buy a hawke. They are shite.

What's your budget?

Bushnell are good for the money.

A was looking around 300 or so av got the mamba light was looking for summit better. Was reading that the Simmons white tail classics are a good scope they not very expensive but read they are very good

You should pick up a nice WTC for around £100 on evilbay. Maybe a little cheaper. Your looking for the philipenes model.

Excellent scope for the money. I had one for years. Faultless.

Was just looking on blackpool Airguns site and they say the have the new ones in moxy never had one just seen a lot of good reports about them

What sort of shooting are you going to be doing. Target, Hunting, both?

Just hunting pink not really into the targets

A hawke then...

[Pink or stink 162]

I do both target & hunting. For me, the Panorama 4-12x40 EV MAP6A is the best all-round scope. I like the wide view and the fine reticle, it aids very precise aiming. The current world HFT champion uses a Hawke Nite-Eye digi which is similar but has a 50mm objective; they aren't crap, just budget scopes. There is a lot of hype over the Whitetail; never understood it myself having got rid of the only one I ever had quickly. With a £300 budget you are likely to pick up some good glass but that depends on you going to a decent outlet and trying them out. Reticle for me is more important than low-light qualities. At airgun ranges I believe most scopes cope quite well.

[moxy 617]

Likewise. Never understood the hype over hawke. Other than being affordable. Had a few and never got on with them.

That being said. I only use them as a hunting tool. So being able to offer a nice image in poor light is a must as well as performing well with a lamp. Nice glass is always a bonus.

Horses for courses and it's a personal choice. However you choose.

I use the Hawke Night Eyes on my guns, superb in low level light, and I do a fair bit of roost shooting (got another 5 last night). The IR can be a bit garish if you turn the light right up, but the 50mm objective lens lets a lot of light in!

 

Some people get on better with certain scopes than others. I think it is the different glass used, some peoples eyes get on better with MTC, mine are Hawke compatible.

[carlo5983 11]

With the hawke night eye will I get my night vision over the eye peace??

[dtw 42]

I have found MTC scopes work much better with night vision than hawke.
