HeadShotHoncho Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Reading my new copy of total airguns today (great book) and there are occasions when i want to control feral and the scope is not suitable because of the lack of light and the zoom (i also want to use the open sights every now and then) but don't want to take it off, have looked on the internet and they are 20 quid and don't want to spend that much Has anybody got any experience of them and if you do have you found them of any use. Many thanks, HSH Edited April 2, 2008 by HeadShotHoncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Why is your scope not suitable? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 cos the light in the barn isn't good and even winding the zoom down its very hard, sorry should have clarified that better, will edit it HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highseas Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 they are ok but make shure the sights are visble with the cpoe on ie not more that 30mm in most cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Are they worth it cos i want to do a bit of plinking with them and get rid of some ferals but don't want to have to spend £20 and find out they're not worth it cos i can't be bothered to take off the scope and have to zero it over and over again, Many thanks, HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'm guessing you want the mounts you can see under to see open sights? I've heard many people have problems as the stock on the gun either suits you for open sights or as a dedicated cheek piece for the scope. Bare in mind the mounts are likely to be a fair height to let you look through them to see the open sights so this may affect how easy it is to look through the scope if it is too high. If that makes sense? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 yep, thats the ones. The rifle is a HW80 with no mods to the rifle or additions, the scope is a zero option 3-9X40, they'll probably fit but i think i'm just going to take the scope off, cos i can just zero it again and they hopefully won't zero out by too much, Many thanks, HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Lol, I had to google this in fear of visions of poeple trying to fit glass mounts. Its a good idea, but they don't look as sturdy as standard mounts. Have you considered fitting a laser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 no cos i can't be ***** changing batteries and sometimes i just prefer open sights for plinking. Thanks, HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullterrier Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 See through mounts are a waste of money, you`d be better off saving the money & putting it towards a second hand logun lamp. Or alternatively you could get a single piece mount & take off the scope off whilst still fixed to the mount but you`d need a point marked on your receiver to make sure you could put it back in the correct position for your eye relief.

HeadShotHoncho Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Ye, thought there might be mounting problems, am going to buy a lamp sometime soon cos i want to do some bunny bashing once i've got my shooting back up to scratch (had a real low time for about a month, checked zero and no i'm shooting less than inch at 20 yards but i still need to improve so i can do it at 30 but i'm going to keep with the scope) cos my local farmers got a lot Many thanks, HSH Edited April 4, 2008 by HeadShotHoncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 yep, thats the ones.

I even tuned the HW80 down to 10.5ftlbs but they still crept back? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 right, have zeroed my scope now anyways and have discovered that wound down to 3X40 its great for feral bashing and have had great fun plinking withe the scope and wonder why i ever thought of taking it of, Thanks, HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
