Fisherman Mike Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Sharp shooter I have a 3-9 x 40 IR from the same manufacturer sub 60 quid mark and I dont think there is a better scope for the money than the 56 model. Walther products are generally well made and have a standard 1 year warranty. Mine is generally used for lamping teamed with a BSA Hornet .22 and does the job perfectly. It performs as well as the 6 - 8 x 42 whitetail that I have which cost 5 times as much. I can only imagine that the 56 IR would be better. One word of advice, dont compromise on the scope mounts. Hope that helps. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharp_shooter Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 i have also been looking at the 3-9x44Ao Ir 30mm scope. its sounds better but is it spring rated and would it be a clearer image than the 3-9x56? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy the bull Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 sharp shooter, i have a 3-9x56 ir walther ontop of my s410k and its a great scope for the money. again its been said before, but the sight picture is really sharp, and its light gathering is outstanding. i can shoot well past the other brands "30 minute advantage"...... and its taken a few hefty knocks and not budged a inch. but its in a pair of the new bsa mounts so thats not surprising either...definatly buy one you will be impressed mate. i just hope they increase there range abit more ...like a 6-24x56 ir, that would be the dogs danglies...
