scotttomo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Evening again all. Who among you have more than one scope for different jobs? Do any of you have a low mag scope for ratting and close range work and a higher mag scope for longer range work? Regards and thanks in advance, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03luffmb Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 5 each on a different gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smsguitarist Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have three. Two cheapy chinese (one 3-9X40 and one 4X20 which i have no use for) My main scope is a JSR 3-9X40 AO IR which i LOVE to pieces. I can imagine some people wanting higher power which you can get with the 50mm OL but 40mm is enough for me. Parallax down to 4.5 yards i've found on mine and all the way out to WAY over what i need Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty22 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just the 1. 3-9X50 illuminated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbonrocket Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Both JSR's. 3-9x40 on my longbow and the 3-9X50 on my AAS410. (IR, Paralex adjustable) But just purchased a BSA Ultra multishot so may purchase another JSR 6-24x50 for the AA and put the 3-9x50 on the Ultra! Sell the Longbow with the 3-9x40. EXCELLENT scopes!

amateur Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 3, 1 for each gun, though the one I fitted to the pistol was a leftover when I upgraded the XS78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I got 7-my favourite is my Schmidt&Bender 3-12x50 IR Klassik scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 10 scopes. 4 rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbonrocket Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just purchased a Walther 4-12x50 to put on my AA S410( day hunting). The existing 3-9x50 will go to my new BSA ultra Multishot. My Webley Longbow has a 3-9x40 scope that is for sale but dispatched 6 rabbits with IR on 20/1/2009. The IR equipment will go on the ultra as I need a more rapid reloader to rid the farms of vermin. Carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveieP Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I also have a Walther 4x12x50 AO/IR. Good bit of kit for the money but hasn't yet picked up quite the same following as say Nikko. Unless the gun is being used for FT or HFT you'll probably see most will opt for some kind of utility scope with magnification ranges like 3x9 or 4x16 as they cover most needs. If you hunt, the tendency is to set it to say 6x or 8x mag & leave it there & huge magnification isn't needed. I suspect 3x9 zoom will be the most popular, given it covers most general applications & will be at a lower price point than a higher range of magnifications. Price is frequently a factor to influence choice i.e not everybody has or chooses to chuck unlimited funds at theses things. Airgunning is pursued on many levels with budgets to match.
