think theres just a massive markup on them Phil... the better you get on with them the better the deals! iv had stuff from the local shop loads cheaper than I could find online 

Ohhhhh, might be a bit of a problem there then. Perhaps a s/h Vantage AO which you should get in your budget, if you can't find one, let me know as I have a nice one with decent glass that I could do

Exactly, scopes get very personal, reticle, magnification, objective and tube size, IR or not, side/front focus/parallax, etc., etc., and everyones shooting situation, experience and needs are differe

What ever suits you bud

what may be good for one may not for you

best thing to do is go to the rfd and have a look at some

Look through as many as you can....outside the RFD's door...and see what you favour for your requirements!

Your sizes look a little off there Raptar.

 ....... The first 2 numbers are the magnification range on the scope and, the last number will be the size of the objective end in mm.

 

I use 3-12x50 and 3-12x44 and 3-12x40.

 ..... Most of my shooting is done at x10. It's just what I've got used to and, I've become comfortable judging ranges at.

 

I have the 3-12x50 on my main hunting rifle because it seems to work best with my NV add on.

 

For walking around during the day, I like the smaller, lighter scopes.

 

But, as already said, a lit of is down to personal preference.

good advice above raptar..... it all boils down to what suits the shooter!

I like side focus... its easier to use and i dont shoot above x10, had lots of scopes but all I use now are Hawke's!

when you decide what you like and if your buying from a shop and not online tell them to price match!

theres a big mark-up on scopes and if your gonna shell out on an expensive one they can afford to knock a decent bit off!

I am in the process of moving away from MTC and back to Hawke, the first one being the Airmax 3-9 x 50 which is a cracking scope and very crisp image. Hawke don't seem to 'white out' anywhere near as much as MTC but I do still like my Mamba Lite. I will check out the new version before I buy any more though.

Even on my Impact fac I only use a Mamba Lite 3-12x44 which is strong enough so a 4-16x50 is in my mind more than enough for any air rifle situation.
