Axe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hawke isnt bad for the money, i've been looking at either the Hawke Varmint II or the Nikko Sterling Nighteaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks for the reply AXE, took my Loopy of the .22, for my CZ550-243, & I'm looking for a replacement, but not wanting to spend a lot of money........... I'll have a look at the Nikko Sterling Nighteaters while I'm on, Cheers Bazooka Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invector Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I use the Nite Eye 3-9X50, with illuminated reticle, on both my CZ.22 Varmint and CZ .17HMR Varmint. I bought mine from JS Ramsbottom - the pair for £170.00 including VAT and postage!! Great saving and great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibby Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I use the Hawke Eclipse 6x42... if you are using it for hunting, a fixed magnification is best i find.... i was recomended 6 magnification by others but go for the biggest lens you can.

Bazooka Joe Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks for the reply's, thinking of ordering one tomorrow....... Maybe the Mildot illuminated reticle, looks favourite. Bazooka Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Let me know how you get on with it. I'm seriously considering the Nikko Stirling Nighteater 4-16x50 IR/AO as it has side mount paralax and adjustable marked turrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Here's a cheap scope for you, only problem is, it has to be shipped from Japan. Tasco Bazooka Joe Did you get yours from the same place Winchester??? Edited January 23, 2006 by Bazooka Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Shooter Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I use a Hawke 3 - 12 x 50 illuminated mildot on top of my cz varmint 17hmr. Ive had 9 foxes with it since september awsome scope well recomend it. Can half inch group with at 100 yards easily on my rifle. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Looks like I've made a decent choice then Fox Shooter, I know it's not top of the range kit, but it will do for my CZ Mod-2 Rimmy just fine............ Couldn't refuse it at that price either...... Bazooka Joe :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickbmw Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just ordered the very same scope (Hawke Nite-Eye 4-16 x 50 PX Adj Illuminated 3030 Riflescope) from Ramsbottoms and also could not resist a 3-9x50 HD for my Air Rifle at £29.99 delivered - Incredible prices but be quick there's not many left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Bazooka Joe, did ya get the Hawke scope yet, how you getting on with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Axe, Yep, I got the Hawke Nite-Eye 4-16 x 50 PX Adj Illuminated 3030 Riflescope, have'nt mounted it yet, got a look at my .22 Bruno mod-2 & decided that it needed a revamp. So I'm waiting for a bit gear to arrive through the post before I'll put the lot together. As for the scope, I'm chuffed with it, exspecially for £90 delivered. Cheers, Bazooka Joe PS; Still two left, just had a look on the website................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Alas I have just ordered a Nikko Stirling Platinum 30mm Night Eater 6-24x56 Sidewheel IR with mildots. I had a loook through one in my local gunshop and compared it to a fixed S&B and the clarity was the same. However, i'm sure the S&B offers much more clarity at dusk/dawn. I was very tempted with the Hawke and nearly bought it. But in truth, I had my heart on the nikko especially at £157 delivered. Let us know how you get on with it.

al4x Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've had my Nikko Sterling for about 4 months now in 4-16 x 50 with the 30mm tube and really I can't fault it, seems to work great on my hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 the lightforce mount fitted ok, obviously I've made sure not to tighten it too much as I assume its for 1" tube but it seems to fit well enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
