I’m looking at about £400.00 I’m keen to shoot it out to 200m (targets) but will be using it up to 100m on rabbits and down close for rats and squirrels. As mentioned I will probably be popping 007 on it for night work. I have been told to go 008 and forget the add on but not sure how good that’s going to be on targets at distances? Cheers 400 is a great starting point to be fair for FFP.. you may be able to get a Hawke Sidewinder FFP for that or if you want to look at the Athlon Argos there a fantastic scope with lifetime warranty. There after service care is incredible. I have a pard 007. All depends what your using it for if more work will be in the day time id go for a scope. And qdd the 007 on. However the 008 is great im not sure of the range you can see properly with or its full capabilities. 9 hours ago, Mice! said: It says Suffolk.

figgy Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Vortex Diamondback tactical 6-24x50 can be had for only few pounds more than £400.00 Also plenty of good words said about Discovery Scopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampwick Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I snuck the APEX on top tonight and went out to zero it. Rather happy with it, only saw one bunny once set up and he is no more. Only 35 yards but it hits hard. Taking it up to the range at the weekend for some tinkering.

figgy Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Same as mine, yes got a Jeffsky cocking handle in silver and black. Comes with a shiny black banded spinning sleeve like standard handle look and also a Matt knurled spin sleeve. Looks so nice and easy to finger cock without moving hand from grip.
