Vince Green Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Part of the problem with cheap scopes is that people often buy cheap mounts and thats where you may get problems if they are not rigid enough. Any commercial scope that couldn't take ordinary recoil would soon be the subject of posts on forums like this, so far I haven't seen any. I have always bought "cheap" scopes and so do my friends and they are used on all sorts of rifles. Never really found any reason to say they were not up to the job.

Vince Green Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Small centrefires often damage scopes less than spring piston airguns. I have heard that said before as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
