tweedledee Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 depends on what you want it for,it may be ok for an air rifle.chances are it will white out at high mag.go down to a gunshop and look through a few.find a good scope and try and source it off ebay.hawke are a good budget priced scope.

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Know what you want before you buy. Most of my (Simmons) scopes have come from the states off ebay & I've one a Bushnell Banner from Hong Kong. Don't just buy because It's cheap uness you'r an experianced buyer & can spot the bargains. Quite a few of the new super cheap scopes are clones, not worth the money, Simmons "Masters" are one scope I'd avoid. Some bargain s/h one's come up, have you put a wanted on here ? A good s/h scope is better than a new pile of rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveieP Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I decided to give Fleabay a whirl a day or 3 ago for some scopes & bid on a Walther 3x9x40 AO/IR scope. Got it for £35.00 plus P&P, brand new & should be arriving for the weekend from a UK retailer. I think the regular shop price is around £55.00 so there are savings to be had, in this case about 36% on the shop price. Yes, I appreciate it's not exactly "top class glass" but then it still is sufficient for my purposes Just don't get carried away & put in a maximum bid that's more than you want to pay & make sure you know what you're looking for as well as having an idea of it's usual retail price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
