Erik Hamburger Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If used for hunting: 3-8x50 is the best choice. Most people who hunt with air rifles would use a magn. of x4 or maybe x6. Don't forget if you use a magn. of say x12 or x24 your field of view is very narrow - you may be peeping through your scope and don't spot rabbits popping in and out of the hedge just yards away. OK am still relatively inexperienced - only been hunting for a year - but if I would buy a new HUNTING scope today I would go for a fixed maginification of x4 or x6, don't bother with illuminated recticles, and buy the widest tube (30mm or more); the largest objective lens (50mm or more); and the best mounts you can afford for your money.

the_commoner Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 3-8x50 would be the one for me, that magnification range is ideally suited to airgunning, the large objective lens lets in plenty of light i usually use between 4 and 6 times mag i have never done any filed target shooting but presume that if you were to be using the scope for that discipline a higher mag would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
