tulkyuk Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Try a hawke night eye 6.5 - 20 x 50mm - got one on my 17 and it never misses a beat - shot bunies @ 200yds no problem - shoot them @ 150yds all the time with virtually no hold over.

dunganick Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 night force, as you didnt post a budget leupold vx-III also good scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Really cheap Hawke Reflex had a 3-9x40 on my 22wmr for 2 years great scope for the money cost half nothing never lost zero. Moving up in price I'd still stick with the Hawke range they offer fantastic priced scopes then your looking at £100+ scopes like the AGS SWAT, bushnell banner Getting into the better stuff £300ish ++ Bushnell Elites 3200 or 4200 Weaver tactical Nikon Monarch Idealy with no budget set i'd go with a S&B 5-25x56 Police marksman........ i can only dream What i own a Mueller APV 4.5-14x40 and a Swift 3.5-10x44 swift also worth a look although not sure about mildots but i picked mine up for £12 HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRDS Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I have a Nikon Buckmaster on my Rimmy and have just bought an MTC Viper for my Hornet and it is a seriously good scope for the bucks and highly recomended. I was a bit sceptical before I saw one but the hype is well deserved, great Optics and build quality and unsurpassed value IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmullis286 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 i've got a hawke reflex 4-14x50 cost me £69 and for the money you cant go wrong, i used to have a set on the .243. probably the best value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Cheers for the replies guys My mistake I really should've thought out a budget before posting Now decided on around the £300 mark or under I reckon a Nightforce could be overkill for my little 22 Good scopes all the same! John, Buy a Viper, believe me you will not be dissapointed. Rgds John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Have heard some very good things about the vipers But the Bushnells are very good scopes and the Weaver Tactical is a great scope as well If it was me i'd be putting this on it http://www.muelleroptics.com/products/MTAC31044.html alot of people are comparing them to the loopy VXiii and they're holding up and if not the same they're better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled it and found this website. John, Even if they will export to the UK and alot won't by the time you have paid postage from the USA there won't be much in it even if you avoid the import tax. I would buy mail order from a UK dealer if there are none in your lovely country, they all seem to be the same price and well worth it.

taffygun Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Completely crazy that you can buy a scope cheaper from the states than you can from the original distributor in Wiltshire I believe he's from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
