Jbwuk Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi guys. So I do not seem to be getting on with my scope so I'm after a new one but do not now what to get. I shoot all sorts of ranges from 30 yards upto 100+ yards on quite large areas. The gun is a cz452 .17. Looking not to spend loads but maybe upto £100ish?

apache Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have a Hawke scope that is up to 16X mag and I like that for longer shots. Maybe not best in twilight but just get the lamp out 5 minutes sooner. Has resulted in the death of over a thousand bunnies. Never altered zero after setting it up and it gets a few knocks.

Beardo Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 It might help if you told us what scope you currently have and why you don't get on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotemaster Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 In that price range you are somewhat limited. Swift makes a decent optic for that range if you need new. I would definetly avoid Weaver, Simmons,Tasco. Sorry to offend anyone but I have found these to be for the most part "binnable" Better to buy a used quality optic than new junk.

aister Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 totaly agree with coyotemaster . keep an eye going on the bay, i have a leupold 3-9x40 on my 30-06 that i paid £165 for which would be ideal for your .17. theres 3 leupolds on there just now that are under £100 at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Get a Secondhand Simmons WTC or Bushnell Trophy in your price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
