Hamster Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 hi folks,what would be a good cheap scope that wont disintegrate on a break barrel air rifle?thanks I honestly can't ever remember breaking a scope with any gun and I've had a few parful ones too. Tell a lie, the 4x20 on my first BSA Airsporter broke its reticule but that could have happened if you coughed too loud, nasty things.

oldypigeonpopper Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 hello, look at the hawke scopes, what spring air rifle as some are a bit twangy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 If you filled in what part of the country you were in, SnipersEye, you might well find that someone in you neck of the woods would give you a shout to come over and try a selection of rifles with a selection of scopes so that rather than rely on anecdotal evidence, you got first hand experience. If you're in anywhere near me, feel free to shout up and come out for a plinking session. From personal experience, I can vouch for Simmons and the couple of hawke scopes if I have. Saying that, the bulk of my air guns are PCP and have a selection of MTC, Hawke and something I can't remember but it was as cheap as chips. I only have one springer that I know works (a Cometa 300) but I do have an HW35 (in bits) which was gifted to me. It has a scope but to be honest I'd rely on open sights rather than the tube of **** it's sporting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdog Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I would get nikko sterling game king if you can get one going cheap. I bought mine off JS Ramsbottom a year back when they were reduced to £30. Iv put it on my 22lr its never lost zero one, its clear and got IR.

Cannon Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I use a Hawke HD 3-9X50 on my Weihrauch HW-97. It's 18 ft/lbs and the scope hasn't lost zero in over at least 2000 shots. Edited August 5, 2016 by Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I would also vouch for Sportsmatch mounts. No point fitting a suitable scope with inferior mounts. The mounts are half the battle of keeping your zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
