Michaeli Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi guys, I looking to get a new scope for my HMR and was after a little help as what to get for my budget. I currently have a Simmons Pro Hunter 4 - 12 x 44 SF which is a nice scope but when using my NV at 10-12 mag all you can really see is eye shine. on my Air rifle I use a MTC mamba 4 x 12 x 44 with a 30mm tube and this is better but only a little. I don't have a lot to spend (£100 max) so though of getting something along the lines of 4-16 x 56mm Can any one recommend a good scope ( new or second hand) for the money. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Depends on what you,ve got to spend only thing is with 56m obj your going to need some v high mounts , i suppose with the flatnes of the .17 you would,nt notice it , just a bit bulky. i had an scope called moonlighter 56m on my rapid 17 a while back , it was great in low light ( better than the simmonds i had ), but **** when lamping too much surface area catching light . if your using that NV same as your rapid then maybe ok. saying that i like the MTC's , for the money they are great . i also use a 50 mil nikko mountmaster on my axsor and i think thats great and cheap too - so what do i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peek-at Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Have a look at the Nikko Stirling Gameking 4-16x50 AO Very good scope for the money & JS Ramsbottom are great suppliers Link They also do an illuminated reticle version but both well under your £100 budget I have had these on my Rimmy and FAC Air rifle for the last 5 years or so and have found them very good. PS.. they are cheaper now than when I got mine Edited December 3, 2013 by peek-at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
