I couldn't agree more. Well said that man.

Just to close the topic out, I have found an offer I can't turn down in the optics warehouse sale. Nikko Stirling Mount master 4-16 x 50 illuminated. Thanks for all your help.

It is good advice, and advice I would like to follow. My issues are that I know next to nothing about optics and in my experience, asking a shop will result in them selling you what they had most of, what they have in stock, or what they are looking rid of. This is why I am asking on PW. If I said that my budget is around £120 for scope (and mounts if necessary) are there any standout recommendations? Oldpigeonpopper, there are indeed some great deals in that sale! Thanks.

Thanks guys.

What are Milbro scopes like?

Something like this? https://countrywaygunshop.co.uk/product/hawke-fast-mount-3-9x50-ao-ir-mil-dot-rifle-scope-mounts/

Great advice. Thanks. I will have alook at the Hawke scopes.

A chance upgrade from my old springer to my first precharged air rifle has left me looking for a half decent scope for it. The one I had on the springer is cloudy, battered and bruised. Plus the magnification isn't enough for my aging eyes. Are there any recommendations? I don't mind spending for the right scope but air rifle shooting is not something I will be doing a huge amount of. Plinking and vermin control will be it.

It has the fleur de lys?

Am I right in saying that no Caesar guerini gun is hp steel proofed? The Magnus is 3 inch but isn't hp steel proofed. If so, it's a bit disappointing.

I was a member. A lot of brilliant content but there were some members just waiting to pick holes and pounce on inexperienced members. I found it very heavily policed by BASC. A wildfowling club I was in at the time was struggling (and subsequently went under) and as secretary I had asked BASC for guidance and assistance. They were less than helpful, saying that they heard this type of thing all the time, belittling our situation. I posted my frustration on the Wildfowling Forum and was staggered to receive a phone call from a high ranking BASC Officer (who is still with them!), not offering help, but almost telling me off for speaking ill of BASC. I was subsequently suspended from the forum too ( temporarily) - presumably because of the links the forum founder had with BASC. It was 20 years before I rejoined BASC. Great content, but very cliquey.
