dazzyboi Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Dont bother.... There is a difference between cheap scopes on ebay....and rip offs.... I bought my scope off ebay, for £110, its worth alot more than that, but one difference is, its a genuine product. Simmonds White tail classic which i got shipped over from the states from a gun shop. The scopes you are on about are cheap rip offs...chinese make them and try to flog them off as manufacturer brands when infact they are about as useless and as stable as a chocolate kettle.

stet Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I got a copy tasco from china for my ruger its spot on does the job fine for 30 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I Also bought a scope from HK a 6-18X50 AO and it's spot on. Clear crisp image and it holds it's zero with no problems what so ever. I paid about £40 posted WITH the high mounts and have since ordered a few other parts from the seller and am MORE than happy with them. I even bought the green laser <15mW i beleive for the S-16 before i sold it but i kept the laser as it's sweet for dawn dusk shooting.

LG I've been looking at these. Whats the green laser like for night shooting, in comparison to the 400mw red? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarms Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 >How comes when i was a nooby i asked about these scopes...everyone warned me away..now everyone has bought one Everyone can be tempted to try and save a bit of money. What is normally learnt in these cases is that you get what you pay for. I would rather not learn this when I am faced with a particularly nice deer, or a field full of rabbits. Similarly I have harris bipods on my centrefire rifles rather than Rockmount etc.... After spending hundreds of pounds on a rifle I think the least you could do is spend a bit on a decent scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shooter Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 my mid priced and cheap scopes do ok for air rifles and hopefully rf out to 100 yds.if i was shooting any further then yes i would have to agree id spend more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I got my Simmons scope from ebay.com which is from USA and with a good exchange rate you'll get a much better deal. (Always check the feed back.) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 400mW red laser You could kill the rabbit just with the laser beam The green laser puts a VISIBLE spot on a building about 1/2 a mile away poss further if i was to use a scope. A useful dot out to about 100 yards is no trouble. LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy111 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 400mW red laser You could kill the rabbit just with the laser beam LG I'd actually got it wrong, it's a 450mw ir and comes standard with the ATN Crusader or as an accessory. Can be bought from Debens Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
