markws80 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi looking for a bit of help I have got a Nikko stirling platinum nighteater 30mm 4-16x50 scope Would it go on my 22/250 and handle the recoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Probably, but save for something of much better quality along the lines of Schmidt and Bender, Swarovski, Meopta, Zeiss ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The recoil forces in a .22-250 can be less than a spring airgun BTW. But i do agree with the above good glass pays you back in reliability and clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 A spring air rifle first recoils back then forwards as the piston bounces, this is harder on optics than most centerfire rifles. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes the Nighteater is good enough for a .22-250 calibre rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markws80 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for all your help I am saving for a better scope But things keep going wrong and i got to spend my cash pot on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Shouldn't be a problem. Recoil of 22/250 is not great. Not enough cash - Now that's a problem that I know very well and never managed to solve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
