funkey monkey Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Falcon mennace are good scopes for those long range shoot, although a little heavy (and over the top) for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then depends on what you want it to do. For a mini varminter i should get a VX3 Leopold with target turrets second hand if just a point and shoot walk about gun any quality 3-9 x 40 or a s/hand S+bender 6x 42 or 8x 56 hungarian. Scopes over 12x mag realy need an adjustable paralax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadinn Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Funnily enough, for reasons of moving house, I now have to sell most of my guns and equipment, and I recently bought a Hawke Sidewinder HK4008 with SR6 reticule for just over £300 and a £20 set of mounts. Mint condition, used about 3 times - make me a reasonable offer! If you are interested I can get you some photos - but I chose it for many reasons (took about 3 months to decide) - full info here. I'm not biased or anything but its an amazing scope, and with the software you can download from the site here, putting in all your ammunition and rangefinding details, you can get a printout of your reticule with all the different ranges for the various crosshairs!! That really satisfied my inner nerd .... also using the sidewheel you can get a fairly accurate range without too much trouble as well. Let me know anyway - on here or PM me.
