andyfoster10 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 hi every1 im after a new scope ive been looking at these 2 but wanted your opinions on them xd optics 10-40x50 £110 hawke side winders 4-12x52 £100 so what would you rather have and whats the pros and cons on these 2 Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 hi andy......personally i would say they are overkill for an air rifle. i would say go for a 3-9 x 50 (or there abouts).......for around £100 you will get a decent all round scope. simmons hawke richter optik tasco all worth looking at. cheers sean Quote Link to post

LOGUNSOLO177 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 hahahahaha!!! True True!!! On a serious note andy I had a 6-24 JSR scope that was amazing for target shooting but I found for hunting the weight and all that zoom was not that practicle!! I now have a 3-9x40 £38 scope and its nice and light and proves awsome out in the feild!!! Quote Link to post

jamie g 17 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 best scope i found on fac air when i had one was a mtc 3x12x44. not to big and loads of different aim points to Quote Link to post
andy s410c 61 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Hawke/Deben range of scopes are good all rounders & offer something for everyone on a different budget I bought a 3-9x50 Pro Stalker when i got back into the airguns & it was a very good scope day & night but now have a Nikon Monarch which i would'nt change Quote Link to post

I've had cheap/expensive scopes in the past and all I can say is these are "middle of the road" and do the hunting job perfectly. Cheers Coney. Quote Link to post
