jamesmacc Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 hi folks, having a problem choosing a scope for my 455 hmr, have decided to either buy a new mtc viper or buy a second hand leupold, most peoples advise was to buy a decent second hand leupold. i have looked on ebay and gun trader and the for sale section on here and im not finding any for around the 150-200 mark. is there any other websites to check. cheers, james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I bought a SH Leupold 12 x 40 off the Bay from the US for my HMR and they are perfect for the task, no problems at all with FOV or the image when used with a lamp. I paid £200 for mine just keep looking, they are out there especially if you are prepared to buy from the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmacc Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 yeh i am fine with buying from states, did you have to pay export taxes or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colster Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Keep an eye on the various air gun forums, I bought an M-8 a while back for £100 and it's an absolute cracker of a scope. I'd be well tempted if I saw another up for sale, I missed out on one about 3 weeks ago for £130, ended up buying a Mamba instead (I prefer low turrets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
