mahmood Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 hey guys iam looking to buy a new scope for my air arms s200 can any one reccomend any scopes that would be good with this gun? at the moment i have a nikko sterling scope 3-9-40 with which i have had a lot of trouble with. i cant get the shot to meet with what i see through the scope, i cant get the shot high enough i have replaced the low mounts with high mounts but i still have the same problem so i think it mite be that the scope is damged.

Tyke Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi My son has a Hawke Varmint scope on his S200 and I have one on my S400. They are excellent milldot scopes, very robust and clear, and at the moment they are great value at less than £70 from Ramsbottoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahmood Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 any one got any idea why my scope is like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sniper Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Mahmood, Have you tried centralising your scope before you fit it to the gun ? That is counting the number of clicks on both turrets from one extreme ( left and right / up and down) and then dividing by half to find the exact centre of your scope. By doing this you should know that at least the scope is central. As regards low and high mounts they should make no difference to the projected point of impact , except for the trajectory they create. These mounts are purely for your own preference and to cater for variuos size of scopes. Another possibilty is to 'shim' the scope up to the desired level ,using really thin material ,such as old camera film. It could be a possibility that the scope is damaged. Would you be able to borrow a scope from someone , for comparison purposes, before you ( shudder as a true Yorkshireman would ) buy another ?

mahmood Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 i have tried that before but did not help. i dont no anyone else who has a scope i could check to see if that one is ok, i think it must be damaged, think i will just have to buy one and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sniper Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Mahmood, Before you buy ( wash your mouth out ! ) I thought Nikko sterling had a good afterservice. Is it worth contacting them ?i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Teal, What type of reticle does the Walther have? I was thinking of getting myself something illuminated with a Mil-Dot (as some readers may remember), and that sounds tempting. Unless it's a fully IR 30/30 of course. By the by, has anyone any info on whether it's a good idea to use Weaver mounts so that I can swap out my current scope for a red dot come harvest time?

murrayfuk Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 got a walther 3x9x56 ir on my tx200hc had it about 6 months still hits perfect zero, I see J.S.Ramsbottoms r doing them for £55 inc delivery great budget scope with massive light flood happy hunting Murray p.s if using on springer use one piece double screw mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
