tdesnos 6 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Ok, i used to be very much into Air Rifles and hunting. I used to have HW35K, buy Airgunner and Airgun World religiously. John Darling's monthly column, describing his exploits with his Rapid 7 made my month. Back in the day it was the Tasco AG 3-9 x 50 and the Simmons WTC 3.5-10x50 'night view'. So, a couple of months ago i decided to re kindle my old hobby and treated myself to an S400 and the night view scope. I've been quite proud of my combination too, until i joined this forum. You guys seem very experienced and everyone's talking mil-dots and have some pretty powerful zoom scopes. So, my question is: is there a myriad of quality scopes out there now or is the market dominated, really, by a choice of a select few - and if so what are they? Are these mil dots useful? Cheers guys, Tristan Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 depends what you want it for mate. ie what style of shooting you do. a lot of high power mag scopes get used alot in field target shooting. if you doing rabbit and bird control then the scope you have is more then good enough i had the scope john darling had shame he is no longer with us as his write ups where good to read. that scope and the simmons are still goood scopes and more then you need for air rifle ranges imo. mildot is good if you learn the different ranges for the dots it will save hold over when shooting. im not a fan of mildots myself they put me off Quote Link to post
