i mate. it really depends on what you will be using your triple for? foxes, rabbits, i see your in scotland so maybe roe aswell.

 

a good place to start looking is the MTC optics range as you will be able to pick up a second hand viper or mamba for that sort of money. also a if you can stretch to it a second hand bushell elite would be a good buy.

 

hope this helps.

I just bought a MTC Viper 6-24X56IRS for £160 from AirgunBBs, in mint condition.

 

Its an excellent scope (Costs £270ish new, and its great value even at that price )

Pecar as vastly underated scopes, no longer made but can be picked up used very cheaply for what they are. Excellent quality optics, very brigh image but some of the reticules are a bit heavy for maybe aiming off (say 4 inches high).

 

Keep an eye here,
