mattsccm Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) I have a couple of big old spring rifles that need scoping. HW80 and a Diana . I have a few scopes in the box so which would people chose? A couple of Pecars with steel bodies, an oldish Pre 1995 when I bought it second handSterling (no Nikko label) or a modern ish Stirling variable mag. All would do the job for shortish range squirrel bashing but wondering what other might do. Edited May 8, 2023 by mattsccm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 No idea but as you allready have those scopes why not just try them one a time for a simple plinking session. No need to zero, just see if the scopes suit & pellets group well enough. Once you have tried all if you still can't decide flip a coin or go for some retail therapy as its called.

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hello, are they suitable for springers?? You could buy 2 Hawke scopes for about £60 each with mounts,3x9x40 is more than adequate for squirrels, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 IMO springers need a glass etched reticle for longevity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Pecar's won't be suitable, they are CF scopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
