danebrewer10 6 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 well can't go wrong with the T8 though i understand you can't take it apart for cleaning..(am i right?) but for my money i'd go for one of those ASE ultra muzzle mounted cans... Just for the record I don't actually shoot fullbore, i just read a lot Quote Link to post
Mr_Logic 5 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Um, he's talking about a scope... They're OK, but I couldn't get on with the eye relief. I'll sell you mine for a very good price if you like, some marks from use, but AFAIK perfectly sound in operation. Not used it for a while.. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 A new rudder should solve the problem but the foresail looks a bit small as well Quote Link to post

Heck..... how did i get to talking about that as for the viper.... as with a lot of things it may look good for the money and maybe it is, but i'd steer clear of them and get a European fixed or variable scope, they'll be much more expensive but at lest you know that when you increase the magnification your POI won't change.... you've also got to ask yourself... di i really need 24x mag??? my guess is no, unless you're intending on shooting mosquitoes :D i'd say that for deer as i'm guessing that's what it's for 9 or 12x mag will be more than enough.... even for foxes, have a look also at the leopols clopes, they look pretty good value to me....

W.D that's a bit harsh mate? knowing information and having experience is different.... I read, talk to people in the know, soak up the info and regurgitate it onto forums like this sure I don't have experience to back up my opinions, but I've got the theory covered is there a problem with that?

Hunting-top-shots 2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi I Have just had a look at a site called youngmans.com all of the scopes are on there but there are no comments on them. has any one tried one as I am also buying a 22-250 and the scopes look like a lot of kit for the money.

Hunting-top-shots 2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 not sure if I should put this up seeing as everyone thinks that parctice is better than reading. but here is a link that has a summery of the scope. if anyone has one of these mounted then it would be nice to hear how it is working. http://gunmart.net/accessories_review/mtc_...6_x_50ir_scope/ cheers lads HTS Quote Link to post
