bigt1754 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I have one on my rimfire at the mo. I have had no problems with it. I can see what I'm shooting at when lamping, So I say a reasonable budget scope for the price. bigt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Good scopes for the money although I can't tell that much difference between my 40 and 50 so either would be good enough I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 WTC scopes were all the rage back a few years ago and had the price range to match, 3.5-10x50 did used to cost around the £200+ mark. But Uttings are selling the same scope now for £139. But for that amount of money you do get a decent quality budget scope. I used to own WTC 4x40 and they were superb scope. I liked the black granite finish on them, as it held the scope in the mounting better. If you got the money to buy the scope then do so. IMHO their a scope thats been around for a whlie but still worth their price tag. ATB DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colster Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) How much is a second hand one worth these days? 3.5-10x50..... I've seen them go for as little as £65 on forums, more usually on ebay. I've had a couple (3.5-10x40 and 6.5-20x50 - both filipino made) and tbh didn't rate either very highly (I know I'm in the minority), I have a Hawke Endurance 30IR on my LR now and that's much much better.

Dekers Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 The NEW cheaper scopes are just that, the original was made in the Philippines and to be honest, by way of lens, engineering, design, construction and finish was worth its price tag of £200-£210. The latest versions are made in China (I believe) and are not up to the original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
